Average Cost?

How much on average would it cost to get a barrel changed out from a 220 swift to 22-250.
The Gun is a Remington 700 VS.

Are you purchasing a custom barrel or a 22-250 vs take off barrel? Are you wanting to know the price of the barrel, the cost of the work or both?

Besides the cost of the barrel. Barrel installation will run $250.00 to $300.00

Barrels from 125 to 500+. It ain't cheap. You are paying for a lot of skilled work.

I just paid $225 for installation of a match grade barrel on my gun. This price includes return shipping and handling & insurance for the whole gun in it's case. I also paid $330 for the barrel. Total $555.

Best I can say is check this out with some of your local gunsmiths. With everything increasing almost on a day by day basis that's where your going to get the straight dope.

Here's a couple to get you started.

It is a factory 700vs barrel. How hard is it to do yourself? What tools are needed?

To screw one off and another on, a gunsmith would not charge too much. I would guess $100 or less.

Here's a good way to find out what you need and how it's done. I could go into a long explanation, but seeing what rebarreling entails is well worth the cost of this 121 minute DVD. The plus is if you do decide to do it yourself this is all the info you need.

If you want to rebarrel at home I'd suggest you look closely into the Savage bolt action platform. Rebarreling one of those can be done in your shop with nothing more than a barrel nut wrench, a barrel vice and a go headspace gauge.
