Looking for options, have a model 300 savage model 99 that will misfire from time to time. Gun smith I talked to stated that the tolerance on these guns were not to tight and over time the bore wore and the cartridge pushs down into the barrel causing the primer to be to far from the firing pin. Any ideas what it would cost to have a new barrel made or could I have it re-bored to a 308 because the cartridges are longer and would not have to machine as much out of barrel and the dia would be the same any thoughts out there about this?

Especially given the OP's statement of:
It could be several things, but honestly if you read 95% of the "help me" posts here. The prime mover in malfunctions, are basic maintenance issues.
As recently as this past week, it was started that a person didn't want to shoot more than a few rounds per year; for fear of "wearing out" his barrel.... There isn't a single person on this forum that bought their primary vehicle, then refused to drive it because the tires would wear out.
How does that relate to this?
How many times have we read that someone disassembled their firearm, then as if by magic; were incapable of reassembly of what they just did. So without any ill judgment assigned, such a person likely uses the same cleaner as grandad. But how poor of a cleaner it may be, or how thorough they need to clean; is effectively always a mystery to them.
A weak mainspring, possibly also coated in ancient schmoo; is the low handing fruit to go after first.
Cheers
It's a lot more reasonable to suspect either spring issues, or protrusion issues.
