I have heard nothing but good about rebored barrels, but it would still be hard for me to go that far and not just get a new barrel.
David It's about half the price of a new one. DF

David It's about half the price of a new one. DF I'm aware. I don't really care what the multiplier is (1/2, 1/4, 1/10) - a new top tier barrel is relatively cheap. I would get a new barrel, twisted exactly the way I wanted it. It's just not enough money to justify "almost as good" in my mind. Just my opinion... David

Check out this site. Danny Pederson can make a barrel as good as about anyone. His rebores shoot great. I've never done a rebore, just thinking I'd give it a whirl. http://www.cutrifle.com/DF

Anyone know who can rebore my Tikka 243 to a 6.5 Creed?
The 243's 1 in 10 twist just about kills it for my purposes.
I know the barrel will have to be set back.
Or maybe a 6.5-06 Ackley? Have you tried the Hornady 105gr HPBT?

I think I can have a SS Shilen Match installed much quicker than a rebore and I know what a Shilen Match will do. Shilen seems to have great turnaround time lately, but I guess that depends on the barrel. We'll see about an 8 twist 6.5. Either they're making a lot of those to feed the Creed demand or that demand has depleted their stocks. Won't take long to find out. DF
