[QUOTE="BenY 2013, post: 1252065, member: 30866"] I've got a Remington 788 in .22-250 that has some sentimental value to it. It's been re-barreled and the smith did an awful job, long story short it needs a new barrel. Do you guys think these rifles are worth sticking a new barrel on? I mean I've read lots of good things about them, just want some opinions before I spend the money having a new barrel installed on the rifle. If it is worth messing with, do you think it would be worth an extra $250 to have the action trued up? Been quoted $450 to true the action, chamber new barrel and thread muzzle, he quoted me $200 just for barrel work. Quoted $300 to install new barrel and thread muzzle from another smith. If you have any recommendations on who would do good work without breaking the bank I'm all ears. Thanks Ben [/QUOTE]
