if it's done by a good gunsmith who knows what he's doing you shouldn't have to worry, they can tell you if rechambering or rebarrelling the rifle for the cartridge you want would be best. what cartridge changes are you planning on makeing denclark

I had a T/C Contender (14" pistol) in .35 Remington. I had SSK rechamber it to .358 JDJ. The gun shoots just fine. Being a pistol and with my shooting abilities, I'm not expecting a 300 yard gun, so I'm not too concerned about accuracy.

If a good gunsmith does it, a rechambered barrel is as good as, or possibly better than, a factory-original. Bore diameter has nothing to do with this!! Likewise, I have seen brifles with barrels rebored to a larger caliber that shot better than they did when original.
