New barrel time ?

[WYO300RUM]

Your profile shows you are from CA. California is a big place and I don't know how close you are but you might give Rubicon Precision in Greenwood some consideration.

Great . Thanks Edd

Send it to Pac-Nor or Hart and have them do the threading and chambering for you too.

1+ on pac nor.

Pac-Nor did my last one. Good barrel. Installation was fairly quick with about a 6 week turnaround including shipping. Many others might take a while just to get the barrel. Bartlein was 10 months behind when I checked.

Any of the name brands are gonna be good. Some are gonna say cut rifled are the only way but theres a few button that are every bit as good. 325.00-350.00 is gonna be price range for the barrel. Depending on how the barrel was treated as far as life but if your getting close to that 1,000 round mark you could be very well have the good out of it.

Kreiger, MTU, 1/4" fluted, 5R, Stainless, 28" long for that RUM. Send your action. They'll get it all squared up with proper headspace etc. @ $1100.00 I think. I had them thread the end of the barrel and install the Surefire muzzle brake my suppressor mounts on too.

In my thinking it would be easier to have it installed the same place you buy the barrel from . Do you think so ? Thanks for the clarification on bugholes

Bugholes/SPR can do installation as well!

3 part question in no particular order.
I was hoping to get some input on how much does a new aftermarket barrel (ballpark) cost and in general the labor to install it.
I know this one I will get different answers but which barrel makers are best and which are good that aren't the most expensive ? Maybe 4 part question.
And last what normally is the amount of rounds through the barrel before accuracy starts going away ?
This is in a 26 in. Factory 300 Rum stainless barrel.
I don't know exactly how many rounds Ive shot it but I think less than 1000. Accuracy has started to go down hill a little with same loads. The rifling is not as sharp looking anymore either.
Thanks ahead again .

Benchmark is my top pick. Check and see how many shooters at the national are shooting benchmark barrels, you will bw surprized! Good peoole, all shoiter themselves, the are doing cut and button barrels. All are hand lapped!

ER Shaw is a good barrel maker, and they have a list of services with what it cost. Check thier site out, it will give you a comparison to other barrel manufacturers.

Sometimes you can buy a whole new Rifle for the same price or less than having a gunsmith do a rebarrel for you.
I have a 300 RUM that I have shot more reloads thru than I can count, but my reloads are never charged with max loads and I take the time to let the barrel cool when it's heating up, I think you can get more life out of your barrel if you follow certain shooting practices and that goes for all Rifles.

All are hand lapped!

Any good custom is hand lapped, some just better than others.

Whichever way you go, you better get on it or you will be waiting longer than it could be?! This the season to get that project started and developed, before hunting season.
