Yep, all the rebores I've had done have been far better than the original barrel--due to being cut-rifled and often lapped. The process also involves enough heat to stabilize the steel.

Know this from not only interviewing many rebore/rerifle specialists, including Cliff LaBounty--who wrote a great book about the subject of barrel-making and reboring--but using a lot of rebored barrels.
