    How hard is it to rebarrel to a new caliber and do you need to redo the action? The bsa would probably do with getting the action looked at. Also what's the likely cost for this. Am I better off buying a new rifle and going from there?

    Cheers

    Since 308 is the same bolt face as 22-250, not very hard at all. Rebarreling cost would be around the 850 to 1000 mark depending on options.you also would need a small bedding job to make the most of your rifle accuracy.
    A ruger predator in a varmint caliber would be in that price range and come threaded.
