[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 923431, member: 10391"] The #5 Brux blank at 28" 1-10 twist Chrom Moly is $280 shipped. I won't use a brake...I just don't need one on a hunting rifle if it is a 300WM or less. As far as the cost of the smith that is a big variable depending on many things and the work the receiver and stock will need. Here is something you should do once you find a smith comfortable with the Weatherby rifles. Have him check the contact between the lugs on the bolt and receiver making sure they are within tolerances before re-barreling. Trying to lap or true up 6 or 9 lugs that are a mess is a big pain and almost not worth the effort. If the lugs are poor then a new rifle might be a better choice. Whatever you choose to do good luck with it. One more thing the Weatherbys have a good trigger and a good smith can get them quite nice. [/QUOTE]
