I have two of these rifles. I've intentionally been shooting one of them much more than the other, and with nearly 2000 shots through it and accuracy getting more difficult to acheive, I figure it's time to get the replacement barrel on order.
Open to advice on any of these topics:
Accuflite: it's costly to get a rebarrelling, but you get testing and an accuracy guarantee. He talks up his product and his reputation is good, but I'm not sure it's worth the cost of two barrels.
Custom barrel: Lilja, Krieger, Shilen, Bartlein, Hart, etc, etc. If you see a Sako for sale with one of these barrels in stainless steel, do you discount the value?
Have you ever had a stainless barrel treated to be a closer match to the factory blued receiver? If so, what process do you recommend?
Thanks,
David
