You didn't say what was bad about the barrel. Could it just be really fouled? Personally, I would have a hard time selling it to someone without explaining the problem.
On the other hand, I wouldn't mind trading it in at a big chain store, as they will lowball you anyway and that price will be closer to what this rifle is worth with a bad barrel.
What fresh Hell is this?

Somebody might gobble that 270 WSM "donor" pretty quick. If I were to quit reloading or not fool with it, it'd be 308 all the way. Cheap ball for dinking around with and plenty of good factory to be had. This. Black Hills, Buff Bore, Fed GM are all available cheaper than ANY 270wsm load.

I'm not a big reloader anymore as I just don't have time. Over the counter availability is important.
The OP states the reason he's looking at factory ammo. I completely agree about the advantagES of reloading but.......

Midway lists 169 varieties of 308Win and 27 7mm-08. It only takes one, but if a fella wants a pile of options........

I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

Nice...she didn't look too far when she shot. Do you know the distance of the shot by chance?

I favor the .308. Something nice and effective about a .30 caliber hole. I've owned two 7-08's and have parted with both because I just wanted something else.
