I have a short action 700 that has a Krieger barrel chambered in a 250 AI. I am tired playing with it and want to rebarrel to a standard 250. Anybody have any gunsmiths to recommend? I am in Western Pa.

Dump the entire rifle and get another one.
That action lacks most of the features that knowledgeable rifleman demand on their hunting rifles.
It lacks: A decent three position safety that controls the firing pin, CRF, a bolt handle that will not break off and a safe trigger.
Look at M70's, Kimbers, Mausers etc.
You will get immediate delivery for this season and see what your getting.

My gunsmith out here who built my all time favorite 257WBY is a fan of the 250 Savage and has the reamer as well as experience building them. His name is Rob Shell. He also did the stock re shaping on my 340 Tyrannosaur that is oft complimented. PM me if you would like his contact info.

Why not post for the benefit of other on the fire?

Not western PA but Clarence Hammonds in Red Lion, PA would be who I would recommend. Great work, short lead times and reasonable pricing.

rdobrow, I do not know....Tim Smith in Warren, PA (814)723-7583 - www.smithscustomguns.com was who I recommended. He is as good as any for what the OP is looking for and has been building a bunch of rifles lately for the Ridgway, PA 1000 yards silhouette matches. I went to gunsmithing school at Trinidad, CO with him in the mid-late 80's PennDog

I ordered a Rock barrel today for my new one, I got lucky, they will be rifling 257 barrels in a week or two and when it makes it here it will be off to Tim Smith in Warren Pa to do the work. I am seriously thinking of buying a Stiller predator instead of putting the new barrel on the remmy.

I am seriously thinking of buying a Stiller predator instead of putting the new barrel on the remmy. I wish I wouldn't have seen this. I may be calling Monday for a few more barrels. 2 weeks or even 2 months beats the heck out of how long I waited last time for a few Rock 257" barrels. But I guess it was worth the wait.....grin. ![[Linked Image]](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r61/sbark1/E1F7CA40-6063-4F1F-80FA-90D1BF6E688E-10271-0000058F5E9AE043.jpg)

You could probably sell your 250AI. I have one in a ULA and love it. It's been easy for me to get to shoot good with the 80 Gr TTSX. Starting 3rd from left........25-204, 250 Savage, 250AI, Bob and Improved Bob, and 257 Bee. ![[Linked Image]](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r61/sbark1/07487148-F6A8-4D38-A68B-1EAA008653CB-160-000000611D86C1EF.jpg)

You don't have a 25-06?
I think I waited a year and some change for my Rock 9.5 twist 25 cal barrel also.
If I were going to order a 25 cal barrel right now it would be an 8.5 twist.
