Got any recommendations on who to rebarrel a no 1?
This is my dads old 22-250. It ain’t gotta be a bench rest shooter just to get him back on the coyotes and hogs within say 300 yard. And he probably will not want to drop a lot of coin on this’
Thanks

Not wanting to drop a lot of coin, eliminates a lot of barrels and gunsmiths. Rebarreling is a place where I’d not cut corners. But it his money.

I have my own re barrel project. Changing a Ruger 1B 3006 to ???. Leaning towards 257 Weatherby or 264 Win Mag. I found this gunsmith. I have not sent rifle yet, but spent some time on the phone with him. Will be sending my rifle later this summer. http://www.leveractions.com/RugerNo_1.htm

Send it back to Ruger maybe?
Thatd be the cheapest route, if they still have the bbl you want.
Ill be sending my dads to Penrod Precision whenever it comes my way

just buy another used 22-250 Ruger #1and sell the one you have might be the cheapest way. but it just might have a bad carbon build up and your rifle might still shoot good enough if you get the carbon out ? P.M. me and i can explain it too you over a cell phone.
