Many believe that unless you do your own barrel work, paying a smith to set back a barrel is not worth it. To get to fresh rifling, usually means to take the tenon off and rethread and chamber, just like a new barrel.

Or you could spend thousands on a lathe and do it all yourself. Now might be the time to get a new barrel. The smith has to pay for his lathe somehow if you take it to him.
