Not looking to mess with it myself.
Preferably want someone that I can buy the barrel from, have them blueprint, true and swap it, and then finish it when done. Have preferences for a barrel but I may be willing to move on that if I can have a one stop shop for convienance sake. What options are there? |

That’s basic level Smithing and just about any established Smith should be able to handle it. Lots of barrel makers are able to fit and install in house as well.
It just depends on what kind of timeframe. There was a pretty big backlog on barrels recently so finding one in stock could be the deciding factor if you’re in a hurry. |

A couple decades ago I sent my .308 to E.R. Shaw and it came back as a .257 Roberts. Has been very satisfying.

I just don't know any gunsmiths. Trying to make it easy. Ship and forget about it. |

I’d call a few barrel makers and see if they can handle it

Patriot Valley Arms can easily do that. He has done multiple barrels for me and also worked on actions. His Osprey barrels are great too. https://patriotvalleyarms.com/ |

I had a rifle done by Long Rifles Inc. They have a tracking system so you can check the status of your order as it goes through the system. They purchase their barrels from K&P, I think. Door to door was about three months as I remember. That includes time to get the barrel.

Any recommendations on barrel contour? Obviously want a heavy barrel but I get lost in the sauce with all the options... Using a krg bravo stock. Shooting from a bench mostly.
