I have seen the more experienced on this site say that it is not economically feasible to restore one like yours. Enjoy it as is, if it shoots well.  If it does not shoot well the cost of making a nice shooter will never be recovered if you want to sell it in the future. If you never sell guns and would not mind sinking more money than it is worth for you personal pleasure, that could get a different answer especially if you can do a lot of the work yourself.
I wish that I had mine finished 13 years ago when we first bought the ranch. We killed over 300 pigs in the first five or six years and we would have gotten to the rarely seen stage we are at now a lot faster if my sporter had been there then.
The legendary smoothness of the Krag action means reliable follow up shots. If you do not mind dealing with non magnum velocities a Krag sporter has a lot to be said for it.
