New barrel question...
« on: November 10, 2006, 05:13:14 AM »
On the H&R site it says I can get the 30-06 barrel for $85.00. I realize there will shipping and tax but are there any other charges that I'll have to pay to get this barrel?

I've got the 45-70 now and I want to start adding barrels and scopes instead of spending so much on completely new rifles. They're definitely a lot less expensive than the Steyr and Savage 25-06's that I have.

As Knight said, there's a $15 fitting fee, there are also restrictions on fitting any high pressure barrels which the .30-06 is, any of the asterisked barrels on the accessory barrel list can't be fitted to frames made before 1999, details of build year are in the FAQ and Help sticky. ;)

Thanks for the replies. I just bought the 45-70 last week, it's the Handi SB2 and should work with the 30-06 barrel, according to the H&R site.

I just sent one in last week.  $85 for the barrel, $15 s & h, and $10 fitting fee, $110 total.  Cost me $13 to mail it priority insured.
