[QUOTE="budlight, post: 443148, member: 2939"] Most of my rifles have custom barrels. It is not a cheap solution when it might be $300+ for the barrel and then all the man hours. Also the majority of barrel manufactures only make barrels for the popular rifle actions. So do a little home work and find out if a barrel is made for the stevens. Another thing about re-barreling is that you have to stay with a similar size case. I'm not a gun smith, 22-250 is small compared to a .243 When I was 10 years old I was given a 22-250 26 inch varmiter. My Uncle bought me all the reloading gear and I used that gun for 1000's of rounds at the local Marmots and rabbits. But as I got older I figured out that they just don't have enough HP to do it right. Now my smallest caliber is a 243. [/QUOTE]
