I recently bought a Remington Sportsman 78 in .243. (the 'budget' 700 from the 80's)
I inquired with a gunsmith about re-barreling to .308.
He has a take-off 308 barrel from a Rem 700 rifle used for a custom gun.
He wants $200 for the barrel and to mount it. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me, but I've never had a bolt gun worked on before. Other than 22s, most of my guns are ARs and AKs, and I've always done all that work myself. This is my first foray into this type of gun, and using a gunsmith.
Would you all feel this is a good price for the work?
