I have come across a good deal on a Sauer 202 Varmint in 22-250. I would also like a 6BR barrel. As Sauer does not make a barrel for this caliber, does anyone have knoledge of a gunsmith that will make barrels for the 202?

Dave

I'm assuming youre from the USA...and I don't know of any gunsmith in the USA that will make the 202 barrel , with the locking lugs in the barrel etc , but one way to do it is to use an old barrel for the 202 cut the chamber and locking lug end of and drill the chamber out and tap/thread whats left. Then you can use whatever barrel on the threaded "stub" ,(With the locking lugs), you are left with . Almost like sleeving the new barrel onto the old locking lug portion of the Sauer 202 barrel.
A competent gunsmith are able to do this correctly.

Dave, there IS a barrelmaker that offers drop-in 6BR barrels for the 202. Give me a day or 2 to retrieve the info and I'll be back.

Dave, it took me less time than I expected. Go to http://www.border-barrels.com/, the site of a reknowned Scottish high quality barrel maker. He offers a drop-in 6BR barrel for the Sauer 200-202 (same mechanic, actually). Keep me posted as I may follow your route in the near future.
