    REBARREL REM M700, who would you use?

    Looking to rebarrel my worn out 243 remington to a 260 next year. ( project rifle not wanting to buy a new rifle as i like this one)
    Have noticed that prices have increased a lot since i had a true flight fitted years ago. But who would others recommend. The rifle would be for hunting and range use also would end up being suppressed.

    I have used Mitch Maxberry in Wellington. He did a very nice job for a very reasonable price and fast turn around time. That was about 4 years ago.
