I belive he gave up on the idea of converting a small bolt face Winchester and edited the post but not the title.

I suggest you contact a good gunsmith about a new barrel. I assume you want a good one for a caliber promoted for target shooting. That will be about $500. You don't say where you stand with regard to a stock. The factory stock could be used, probably with pillar or glass bedding; or you could be in for a nice McMillan for another several hundred dollars.
