Rebarreling a hornet.

[Reloader708]

Any recommendations for rifle smiths and has anyone here rebarreled a 527 hornet? Im after re chambering my cz 527 from hornet to k hornet. The reason, just because. The current barrel is in a bad way but the rest of the rifle is mint and since theres never going to be any new 527s it kinda makes sense.

Thanks in advance.

Just noted where the Op is based, so PRS does make more sense in terms of rifle drop off. That said, RFD - RFD affords wider choice.

Callum's done a fair bit of work for me in the past (he's very good) but I didn't know if he'd be bothered about a little cz rebarreling job.
I can ask i suppose.

Cannot see why not. Its still the same process irrespective of whether its a £2K action or one worth c£200. In fact there's probably more work and cost involved with the cheaper action, assuming you're going with a barrel blank from a top maker.

Neil rebarrelled my CZ527 last year (in .222), and did an excellent job
Worth calling him to understand the options and costs

I had a .17 Ackley Hornet made by Callum on a 527 action many years ago. It was a lovely rifle, the workmanship was perfect. I always use Jager now because I get on well with him but as you're up that way and have experience of his work it makes sense to go to Callum. You certainly won't be disappointed.
