What would be a ball park figure on haveing the barrel turned a smidge and front site raised,what would be the best way to go about this in terms of the work.

  Shoots high and to the left~

Well ...... There's several considerations.  First, you don't just "raise" the front sight.  You can add metal to the front sight, reshape and
re-blue.  You can remove and replace with a taller sight and re-blue.  You can flush cut the sight and dovetail a new sight in (run afoul of certain SASS rules here).  You can add a "cap" to the sight blade.
The there is turning the barrel.  You need a barrel vice and a frame wrench to avoid a sprung frame.  You may also need a lathe to push the shoulder back and add thread.
I wouldn't begin to give you a real price for the work.  Maybe an estimate.  A high estimate to leave "problem" room.

Before you do anything, have someone else shoot the gun from a rest and consider switching to a lighter bullet.
