Considering most rebarrel jobs cost between $400-700 depending on barrel used, you can buy a New Hawkeye in .260 or .257 by splitting the difference. I'd only rebarrel to a cartridge that I couldn't get a new production rifle in rather than spend the money to make it into something I can buy new off the shelf in the basic package. There are a couple of .260's and several .257's to choose from on Gunbroker right now in the $600 price range.
