[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 527866, member: 5219"] Dan Pederson of Classic Barrel Works rebored a barrel for me last year. Cost was approx $200. An additional $100 for chambering/crowning installing on the supplied reciever. [url=http://www.cutrifle.com/]Classic Barrel Works[/url] Details: was a 30" #7 Lilja SS in 7 rem mag. Became a 338 RCM with long throat for 300 gr bullets. I chose 1 in 9 twist. Barrel lost 1" due to shorter RCM case. I was actually ahead on costs because a new lilja that long would cost around $ 350. Then there would be gunsmithing costs to install new barrel. The 6 groove barrel shoots very well and I will have Dan do another. The next one will be is a 27" #5 fluted Lilja currently a 300 RUM. This rifle has a VAIS muzzle brake. When it finally wears out it will become a .338 RUM with a perfect stock fit as well as the brake already fitted. It will cost FAR less than getting another fluted barrel and having it machined for the brake as well as installation. IMO reboring is a very viable option. [/QUOTE]
