Quality rebarrel ASAP?

I'd like to rebarrel a Remington 700 with a match .308 tube. I am not too thrilled about waiting most of the year to get my gun back but I do want decent work done. Any suggestions on what barrelmaker I should use considering quality and wait times? I'm also wondering if my best bet is to just drop my gun off at the gunsmith, explain what I want, and let him take care of it... Thanks

Re: Quality rebarrel ASAP?

There are several smiths on this site that can turn you around in less than a year. Just do a little looking.

File out your profile and maybe someone can tell you of a local smith that you can use that would work for you. I personally work with the bigger smiths on complete projects, but smaller stuff like rebarrels and action truing can be done by any quality smith. My local smith is as good as they come.

You may also want to touch base with Ozzie over at Saurez Tactical. He recently posted that he can get you turned around pretty quick. He also noted that he had some top end barrels in stock. The post was in the vendor forum (or whatever it is called) in the exchange section. I am working up a build with him and he is communicating with me very well which is a big deal to me. Contact him or someone local if you want a fast turn around.

Mac @ mt guns. Builds a lot of competition bench rest rifles. If he has a bartlein in stock, he would have a quick turnaround. He is also one of the more reasonablly priced smiths. Pm me if you want to know about the work he did for me.

I would be more concerned with getting a barrel. This is usually what holds a lot of build up. Find a quality blank from any of the top makers and then choose a smith. Most smiths prefer to use one barrel maker but like before, this is what holds them up. Any good barrel will shoot as good as you would expect as long as the smith knows what he's doing. There are plenty of guys here besides GAP that can do this work just as good and have it back to you pretty quickly

Graf's has kreiger barrels in stock. You should be able to have it done in under a month. If you order a barrel, you should be able to have it done before Thanksgiving.
