I got information to change the barrel and bolt head I'm trying to do it on a budget . Would it be cheaper to go through the manufacturer or some other way? To a 308 or one of the 6.5 and how many different variations are there of the 6.5 are there? Because i deer hunt and bear hunt as well let me know plz thnx guys

They just had a rifle sale here at my local Bass Pro shops last month. Remington 700 varmint barrel 308 rifle was $600. Police heavy barrel was $700. A decent replacement barrel for your existing rifle would be $350 for a Shilen pre-threaded. And a PTG replacement bolt would be $175. Now add cost for smith to install and set headspace plus you will still want to have everything coated... And theres the cost of a whole new rifle!
