Barrel might just need a good cleaning with copper solvent.
yup....not to say they don't exist.....I've never seen a 30-06 that is "Burned" out.
The likelihood that it needs a new barrel is very slim in my opinion.
Bedding and cleaning with copper solvents would be my first attempt.
So many folks look down the barrel from the muzzle to inspect riflig.....this isn't where the "burn" is found....it's immediately foreword of the chamber. Look to see if rifling still is sharp and visible from the chamber end.....a burned out barrel will show clear erosion several inches ahead of the chamber.
A rebarrel job will cost you as much as $500 or more by the time it is threaded, crowned, polished, and blued and new sights are installed.....one could find a very fine Howa/vanguard, M-70, M-700 on gunbroker for that.
