To preserve some some collector value, I would suggest investigating having the bore relined.
A place in Kansas called the 90-06 Armory used to do this and I have has a couple pump Winchesters worked on by them. The work was done with absolutely no outward appearance of a sleeve, as it was done from the breach end, but not thru the muzzle end.
A quick google search shows a business by that name, but seems to be an AR type weapons manufacturer. Perhaps a call to them might get you closer to the center of the target (over and over)

Are we sure that's a chipmunk? It sure looks like a Rocky Mountain ground squirrel that lost his way and wound up in Texas. They are almost tame in the Rockies. I admit to taking pockets full of bird seed to feed them. I would never let the barrels of one of my Parkers end their existence. I like them too much. It takes a heart of stone to kill one of the cute little fellows. Andover folks are know for their New England hardiness and hard hearts .
