Blackbart Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Does anybody know how much a new barrel for a 22-250 costs ? Or anywhere i could find out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Ask Steve Kershaw - top man and very fair, but as a consequence also very busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbart Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Had a look at the website stuart and i can tell that he wont go for that cos it sounds expensive..custom barrel and all that.I think if it was a couple of hundred quid he would do it but otherwise it might work out cost effective to get a new gun.Cheers though as it looks a quality set up.

moses Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 A re barrelled gun by steve will show you what accuracy means though, new guns are always a risk, well cheap ones anyway. I have to agree with Fister, If you have a good action it really is worth looking at having it re-barrelled. Steve Kershaw did my .270 for me and it will shoot 1 hole groups all day long, I love it.

DaveK Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Steve Kershaw is the only gunsmith I'll let near my rifles and I've never been even mildly disappointed by his work or his prices. Rather than a custom barrel though, it may be worth asking if he's any decent standard barrels in his drawer that he's taken off to replace with a custom one.

Browning Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Speak to Chris at Anglo Custom Rifles. He's now working on my third rifle and I can highly recommend him. The current one is a rebarrelling job on a custom rifle that was initially done by another gunsmith.... I know they are having their website re-done but here's the link to the old holding page:- Anglo Website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbart Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 So busy in fact that when I went to see him yesterday, he screcut 3 guns and fitted three mods for me for 8 o clock last night just so he didnt have to store any more guns to work on this week lol Steve is a good guy, works well, prices well and does things when he says he will, he is like scotty form star trek, says it will be ready in a week and rings you after 5 days to say its done. New barrel, around 600 all in. Dependant a bit on the exchange rates. Sounds like a good bloke and quality workmanship but a bit OTT for what the gun would be used for.Its main use is fox control shooting, and not shooting fleas off foxes backs.If the £600 is a correct price then also a bit steep as after more looking about i found Border Barrels will do a custom barrel fitted and proofed for £480 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
