[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 932786, member: 13110"] It's just about as much work to set the barrel back and re-chamber as it is to start from scratch. I just did a Remington sporter barrel for my dad and set it back about .180" to make sure the neck cleaned up and to put the site holes down. You really need to set it back enough to cut a new neck so you don't have a stepped neck from two different reamer sizes. Then you need to chase the threads and re-cut the bolt nose recess. In all it took quite a bit of time. I'd leave it as is, unless your going to 7STW, and wait for a new barrel to do a different caliber. [/QUOTE]
