[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 3062228, member: 32631"] I don't know if I'd want a 5 in.. 8 in. bad enough. I'd like to get my 9 in. 454 Casull Ruger Super Redhawk cut down to 6 in. A Gunsmith in town said he'd do it and crown barrel and drill and remount front sight for $200. Tempting. I've only let one Gunsmith here work on my guns. He has threaded four of my rifle barrels. $80.00 apiece. Last one $70.00 because he thought he took too long to get done. Lol. The other guy charges $120.00 . At Wyoming Armory I spent $1600.00 in 2019 on a new Bartlien 5R Varmit conture barrel cut to 28 in. For my 300 Rum. Action trued. Bigger recoil lug, better firing pin spring , all cerakoted , a Stockeys thumhole stock and Simms pad. I had a brain fart. Should of had a carbon fiber barrel put on. Now is 3.5 pds. Heavier. Not my mountain rifle anymore 😒 [/QUOTE]
