Re: gunsmith work ?

If the rifle shoots great, then all I would do is the muzzle break, and shoot until the barrel is toast. If you true the action,, you will need a new barrel. If you do that, then order your barrel already flutted. If you were changing the bolt, and want a Sako style extractor, then get it. Otherwise, I wouldn't take out the Remington extractor which works very well. As for cost, well, That depends on who's doing the work, and I don't put prices on anyone's work, so sorry that I can't help you there. Best of luck.

Well of all the things you want to do, I would only get the muzzle brake done. Reason being is if the gun already shoots good, then why mess with it. If you true the action then you are going to need a new barrel and if you ate already going to have to order a barrel, then might as well order a fluted one. Also sako extractor is way over rated and some smiths won't even install one due do safety reasons. Like I said, I would just shoot it and do all the extra stuff when you burn the old barrel out. Just my .02

Haha STR beat me too it, damn I phone key pad...

#1. Bed it
#2. Cut 1" off and re-Crown / muzzle brake
#3. After market trigger 1-3# range
#4. Learn to re-load for it
#5. Choot-it Liz
