Depends on who made the barrel, but you can count on about another 1000-1500 rounds of accurate life if it has been loaded with moderate loads and it's a button-rifled barrel, likely more if it's cut rifled. There are soooo many things that factor into barrel life though. Consider taking it to a gunsmith and having the throat scoped to tell you how much wear there is instead of taking someone's word for it.
I bought a barrel that had 1000 rounds through it. I put 1200-1300 through it and just had it rechambered as the throat was well worn.
I am still only into the barrel for a little over $400 so it's basically making me money every time I shoot it now.....or so I like to tell myself
