    I’d imagine €1200 is the quote for a Proof Research carbon fibre barrel job.

    Border Barrels charge ~£750 for a top-of-the-line 30" Bartlein barrel with your choice of profile, as used by benchresters, F-class and F-TR.

    I can't comprehend a charge of eu1200 for a cooking common calibre on a factory-made rifle that probably cost less than eu1000 when it was new.

    It's charges like that, for a day-to-day job like that, that give the gun trade an unfortunate reputation for being grasping opportunists.

    Are you sure that's a bartlein barrel tac ?
    The reason I ask is that border make their own button and cut rifle barrels under the name of sassen.
    Bartlein and Krieger are the most expensive. My mate has sent his rifle to the UK to have a bartlein barrel fitted.
    The cost is £950 plus shipping which will be around £1000 which would be about €1175 at the current exchange rate. A sassen barrel would of been £750 with the same gunsmith.

    If you don't know what you are doing then you shouldn't be fiddling or winging it trying to do a DIY zeroing. Get a proper gunsmith to do it.

    I guess that my information is out of date. Thanks for putting me right. However, I don't understand why somebody would want to pay more for a barrel than the cost of another rifle in the calibre he wants.

    In my mates case he has been unfortunate in the last couple of factory rifles he bought as accuracy was poor.
    He has another rifle with a custom barrel which is a tackdriver so he decided to go the custom barrel route again rather than chance another factory job.
