I just got a good deal on a Belgum BLR with cheap 4 power scope in 308 that is mint for $200.. I have no interest in the 308 and would like to rebarrel it to 358.. Anybody know what this should cost? ..Thanks Bill

I would think that Browning could pull that off and cheaper then having a gunsmith do it especially if you want the iron sights reinstalled. Does your model have a satin finish and impressed checkering?

They are going from $650 to $850 in smaller calibers. I have had one in .358 for about 10yrs.
My A-Bolt is in .338.

Browning will not do it nor do the sell barrels. I guess it will be a gunsmith. Does anybody know where to get a factory barrel used or new ? ..Thanks Bill

Just about any reputable gunsmith should do this with ease but the point is BRowning should do it as well and for less money. If you want to rebarrel a Ruger or a Remington the factory will do it on their guns..can't figure out why Browning will not do this other then they are cost cutting.
