[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 874476, member: 1290"] No need to cut on the old barrel. Remington barrels pop right off. The action truing job is the least amount of impact on accuracy for the money. I would still check the action for square. If it's really out of whack then truing may not be optional. You might find out the smiths known for extreme accuracy don't really charge any more than anyone else. I would take the money saved from truing and spend it on a Jewel trigger. If you like the rifle there is no reason not to put a premium barrel on it. Especially in 257 Weatherby. Long barrels really wake up an already phenomenal cartridge. Krieger, Bartlein are my favorites in that order. $350 for a barrel and $300 to put it on is good ball park figures. [/QUOTE]
