Sako rebarrel

[Mtns2hunt]

My Sako Finnbear in 7mm Mag has been an awesome rifle but the throat is about burned out and groups are opening up.

I'm told that since it has a left hand turn it will be very difficult to rebarrl. Has anyone had experience rebarreling sako's? Thanks.

my son just had his sako 75 stainless 7mm rem mag rebarreled with a bartlein 8.5 twist smith didnt say anything about twist direction and it is crazy accurate with every and I mean every powder and bullet combo tried. h100 and retumbo ladder loads with 160 cx and 180 eldm and 183 hp all shot same point of impact and .5-.7 groups even with the ladder powder charges. took a nice [meat bull] elk and mule deer in colorado 260 yrds deer 180 eldx and elk 160 cx at 565 yrds.
