I'm looking to re-barrel a Ruger model 1 that is currently .243 to .308.  
Does anyone have a recommendation of a good gunsmith that has experience with that?

Ruger #1? You may give Ruger a try. Have good luck w/ repair&service in the past.

Thanks for the reply.  I did contact them and they said they would only replace the same caliber.  I've requested the price of a .308 barrel.

That is that man’s bread and butter , he has an example of every caliber they have ever made and every barrel length. It’s a wicked collection. If anyone know how to help you he’d be a solid starting point. He builds lots of customs inhouse too.

You can do far better than Ruger for a barrel. Dollar for dollar.

I've never had any work done, but if I was going to I think I'd sent it to http://www.oregunsmithingllc.com/

This guy was suggested in another thread and a couple members say he's solid. He has Single Shot services listed and a couple #1's shown.
