    Dean Maisey reamed a .17m2 Ruger barrel out to .17hmr for me, although it was to fit back onto a Ruger 77/17 so less work than what you're thinking of. He did a good job. Cost $200 including changing the caliber engraving on the barrel and return shipping.

    That's the info I'm after, thanks a lot.
    So I would expect triple that at least I guess. Kind of deflates that idea probably.

    Have asked around for some price estimates so will be curious to see what they come back with.
