To Thread or not to Thread...barrel that is?

[Dust270WSM]

I have a Remington 700 Sendero factory rifle with the HS stock that I have bedded in 7mmSTW. I have it shooting sub moa out to 1100 yards right know but shes a little violent after shooting it on the range a while and what I am wanting to know is...
Question #1-- If I have it threaded will it change my accuracy along with my velocitys??
Question #2-- How much does it usually cost?
Question #3-- Does anyone know any local guys around the Oklahoma City area they recommend to do it?
Thanks for any help...

#1 - Velocities will stay the same unless you chop barrel. Accuracy will likely improve as most gunsmiths are going to crown your barrel when threading. You may see POI shift with a brake.

#2 - as much as you're willing to pay. My gunsmith in Atlanta charges $100, but that doesn't cover device timing or thread protectors. At some points in the year, it's cheaper for me to pack the rifle on a plane and take it to them than to ship it! Morgan at Class3 is in Dallas and charges $75. You might call him and find out if a dealer near you is doing bulk work with him and get your rifle in on their next order.

#3 - Sort of answered it in #2. I don't know anybody in OKC. Class3 is in Dallas. I haven't (yet) used them, but my silencer dealer, Capitol Armory, ships him a couple hundred guns a year for threading and they keep sending them each month so i'd trust its all good. My 'smith in Atlanta is Accurate Ordnance.

Thread it! Tyler pretty much summed it up. Most of my rifles sports a muzzle brake, even my 6.5 CM (it came threaded). Good luck and have fun with it.
