This tread just keeps getting better, Big stick, d-07, who's going to show up next...Jonas ?

Will the chromester re-barrel or just re-bore ?


Oh the drama!!!

I don't know costs but it cannot be any worse than a rebarrel job.
You have some smiths over on the wet side that advertise in Rifle and in Handloader often. There is a rebore guy in Colville, Wa too.
Like that 338/06 idea. Always wanted one too.

Is Rick Fruendenburg, the gunsmith, still in the Everett area? He has
a pretty good reputation in the trade.

.280 AI would be very nice if you can find someone that does it and it cleans up for that bore.

While I was looking around for an AR barrel, I saw this shop recommended for its stock of conventional barrels on hand :

Just got my old M-77 back from Rainer Rifle Co. in Gig Harbor. Sporting a new 25" BenchMark in 416R stainless (bead blasted finish) chambered in 270 Winchester. They matched the old Ruger bbl contour perfectly.

Looks absolutely deadly can't wait to try some old favorite loads. Total cost $450.00

Cool! $450 for a new barrel job is pretty good. Do you have iron sights on the barrel, or is it strictly a scoped rifle?

Don't forget to break it in properly....

Have fun!

No irons, just my Burris 3-10X

I've been a Hoppe's #9 guy, thinking of going with MONTANA X-TREME products for this bore.


Anyone?

Haven't used MT X-treme. That said, I have been most happy with Frog Lube liquid for general CLP requirements. It stays where you put it. The minty fresh scent dissipates after a spell. There are also a number of anecdotal CLP/copper fouling tests on the web for further inquiry.....

A 9.5-twist SAAMI 280 or the Improved variation contoured to match and throated to kiss the lands with your choice of slick, slicker or slickest projectiles would likely make for positive outcomes....
