I have a Savage 99F action (only) that was originally 308 Winchester. To barrel the action with a stainless steel 308 barrel, what am I getting into - in terms of difficulty for the gunsmith, in terms of dollar cost, and anything else that comes to mind? Whom would you recommend to do the job - unless barreling is so straightforward that any competent gunsmith can do the job correctly.

It's no big job. Any smith of good reputation with a barrel or 3 under his belt should be able to do it easily. No clue as to cost or recommendation, but WHY would you mar such a fine rifle with a stainless barrel? God intended guns to be blue steel and wood!
