[QUOTE="Sage70, post: 2543339, member: 119027"] If you look at the Bartlein website you'll see they charge $310 to chamber, headspace and fit a barrel to a Model 700 action and the same $310 to cut the cone, extractor grouve and chamber & headspace a Model 70 Winchester. There are still gunsmiths available who can work on control feed actions and my gunsmith currently charges me $125 to change the barrel on a Model 70 controlled feed action using a pre-owned Winchester barrel. I can't afford the Bartlein barrels so if I want a different caliber I find a used Winchester barrel in excellent condition and make the change. It has always worked out good for me. Having a barrel re-bored is also a good option. [/QUOTE]
