If i was buying a 10-22 with the intention of rebarreling it I don't think I'd start with a new one, I'd buy a tidy second hand one. Let's say $400, it's what new ones were going for not that long ago.
Add the $400 you said a barrel costs, plus whatever a gunsmith charges to fit it... You've more than doubled the cost, and that's before you even think about the horrible trigger.
