Kreiger Barrel chamber services
Has any of you guys ever had Kreiger to rebarrel a gun. My gunsmith said he will chamber and mount a kreiger barrel to my remington action for 200 dollars, but looking on kreiger's web site, they will install and chamber a barrel for 170 dollars. Was the job they did for you satisfactory? Would you rather your own smith does the chambering and mounting?
Seems they will do it all for you from chambering, to threading to fluting, to satin finish, glass bed, pillar bed your stock and even put a muzzlebreak on. So if you supplyed the stock, and action, thinking it would cost $350 for a H-S stock, and around 200-300 for an action, you would have a complete custom for 1400 dollars.

RE: Kreiger Barrel chamber services
I've heard enough good things about them that they've got my Rem 700 action and are installing a barrel for .338 ultra mag. I also sent along a Vais muzzle brake with the action. I'm going to install it into a McMillan Hunter stock, along with a Jewel trigger and a Ziess 4.5-14 Conquest scope. Should be back in my hands sometime next week. My bill is $630.00 for the barrel, lap lugs, true bolt face & reciever, thread for brake and satin bead blast finish (stainless steel barrel). I'll let you know my opinion of the quality of their workmanship when I get it.

I went with the #6 Heavy Bull Sporter, but I had them taper it to .820" at the muzzel to match the Vais brake diameter. I also had them leave the barrel at 28" (without the brake installed). I have a Weatherby .300 mag with an Accubrake factory installed, in all reality the barrel is only 24", they shortened it when they installed the brake to mantain the 26" barrel length, I'm about 100fps velocity short of the .300 is capable of. If the 28" barrel ends up being to heavy on the .338 ultra, I'll flute it myself. I run a 4 axis CNC mill where I work, wouldn,t take long to write a program and chuck up the barrel to cut the flutes into it.
