Just a thought, I have an old burnt out .17 stainless barrle and have been thinking of getting it reboreed to a .20.. Is this any more cost efective than rebarrling..
And does anyone know of some where to get rebore job done.(in Canada preferable sask. or alta.)
It can be. Many will tell you that you have to buy a new barrel to get top-notch accuracy, and most who say this are selling barrels or rebarreling jobs!! You can get excellent results from rebored barrels, depending on who does the work. However, you generally will have to wait longer to get your gun back than if you just rebarrel it. I have had several rifles rebored by good 'smiths, and had to wait at least 1 year for the rebored gun. There may be some who have faster turn-around, but I don't know who they are!! Good luck!!
Conmpared to a new barrel you don't have to have it contoured, fitted or blued and it don't mess up your bedding. It used to cost about half as much. The best in the business was Dick Nickle but he up and died, so now I don't know who to tout.
