It's all in who does it and how they do it. Shop around before making a decision, and remeber one thing, the cheapest price isn't always the best route.

My thoughts exactly, its all about who does it, and good work is not always cheap work. It shouldn't be horrible expensive ($100-$150), so try and find a quality smith if you can. Ruining a good barrel isnt worth saving $50 IMO.

Shouldn't cost more than $50 from a good local smith; it's not rocket science...that's about $40 more than a Howa barrel is worth but they still shoot ok.

I'm not saying you need a new barrel, just that it shouldn't cost that much to shorten it, and it should shoot about the same after; but I wouldn't invest a lot of money in the factory barrel.
These rifles usually shoot fine for a factory sporter type rifle.
