I’ve been lurking around the campfire for awhile now, and have seen some older threads around this and similar topics. I understand that it CAN be cheaper to buy a new barrel, but can someone give me some realistic numbers to the cost to rebore a 308 Win to a 338 Fed?

In advance: this is a Bergara b-14 with plenty of barrel to work with (or it should be). Their barrels are more along the lines of semi-varmint than a spotter contour. I’ve been looking at this caliber for awhile, it’s interesting, suits my hunting style, a bit different, and i just want to try it.

Thanks in advance and apologies for a potentially drawn out and redundant topic.


I hear what you are saying, but we need to pull fire...
