Neil McKillop aka dasherman would be my first port of call. He keeps a good stock of barrels in all the time.

I don't rate Bergara barrels because 1) the few I have fitted (supplied by customer) were very eccentric bore to outside and 2) they have a very limited range of caliber's/twist rates/profiles.He doesn't rate Bergara barrels so expect to pay a lot more for the ones he does have.
Most of the riflesmiths are very good craftsmen of similar ability, the only thing that varies is the price of the items required.
I'm not so well off as some on here so not in a position to just order what I want so have to shop around.
I see no point in spending more money just to get a well known piece of equipment when another not so well known piece will do the job required for half the price.
Bergara can't be too bad as they now have their own rifles on the market and and are proving quite popular also your mate Bob bought one and, being a canny Scot, he doesn't waste money.
Perhaps the ones lioving in Amesbury are a wee bit canny too.
I've no idea where the requirement to suffer fools comes in, maybe an extra
you pay for what you get, and IMO: Neil is one of the best builders I have come across.
and i don't mind paying his prices as he does what you ask for and suffers no fools.
I cannot comment on Bob's buying habits but his Bergara is already up for sale and he's never had a re barrel or had a rifle built by me.
Something doesn't add up there then......
Shouldn't take more than a few hours, last one I did was a couple of hours.A Lothar Walther 1450 barrel costs about 200 euro. I don't know how many days it takes to screw the barrel in the action and properly headpace it?

Probably paying for the time in the queue.Agree. Never understood where those high prices come from.

Then please share your unlimited experience. And just so you know, my first re-barrel was way before there was an Internet to refer to."and a proper job takes more than just a couple of hours"
