[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 938389, member: 25831"] I am actually getting ready to do my first upgrades to an old 270 Win. Here's the quote from the gunsmith. Hart Barrel with 1:8 twist-$320 delivered Barrel instal-Chambered, threads, crown $360 Lugs/boltface lapped-$45 Scope rings lapped/scope mounted-$45 Glass bedded-$115 Cerakote-$215 Total-$1110 Putting it all in a Mcmillan...$$$$ If you just buy a barrel and have it spun on you are at your budget. You could send the barrel and action to Hart and in 9 months/$700 later you would have a barreled action ready for paint and bedding. Any time you look at a new barrel, you are looking at quality labor-that ain't cheap. If she still shoots I would agree with Hired Gun. You will have a "new looking" rifle that shoots and you are at a few hundred bucks under budget for better glass, or brass, or bullets, or powder...these hobbies get spendy. Like I said these are my first upgrades (and really new to it all also) and I am trying to do mine on a budget and it has been blown way out. The things you can skimp on really aren't that much cheaper if you do them yourself. It's the metal work that costs and unless you know a gunsmith willing to work for free, there really isn't any way around it. Saw this post because I wanted to do the same thing you are (give it a face lift) and have spent more than I wanted to but in the end I think it will be worth it and besides every hunter deserves at least one good rifle... Hope it all works out. Shane [/QUOTE]
