When’s the last time you all sent a rifle off to be rebarreled by a competent gunsmith? Local guy up here charges $600 plus cost of barrel. Which hell minimum for a good barrel $330 bucks. So a grand to rebarrel a rifle… ol boy can sell that 358 right now, wander on down to sportsmans warehouse or wherever pick up a new 700 adl for $500 and still be ahead. With a rebore vs rebarrel job..
When's the last time you saw a 700 on the shelf for 500?
Local Cabelas has a USED Ruger 10/22 on the shelf for 599.00
I've never seen these mythical cheap 700s and less so over the last 2-3 years.
