Gunsmithing cut barrel or trade?

[max47]

I have a rem 700 sps-v that I have been using for coyotes, I am tired of the long barrel and am thinking about having it cut down to 20". Or would it be cheaper to trade up to a sps-tactical that already has a shorter barrel?

I would think wacking off a few inches and recrowning would be a bit cheaper then a new gun...............but any excuse to get a new gun is better then no new gun.

But hey, there is nothing to it: (from my Grandaughter's science project.

I'm always taking in barrels and what not on trades for work. Shoot me a pm if you have any questions or are looking to get some done.

Some good ole bartering never hurt nobody!

Had the 26" barrel on my 700 VLS cut and crowned at 22" with no regrets for $50.00. You'll get the length you want and a profesionally cut target crown, which you won't get on a new gun.
