"Reboring will cost a ton of money. A great deal more than another barrel."
I forget what JES charges for a rebore but I think it's less than $300. $250 or $275 seems to come to mind but you'd have to check)Ain't no way in hell you can do a rebarrel for that kind of money unless the gunsmith is a close buddy and does it as a favor. I'm looking at a rebarrel on a Winchester M70 .338 Win. mag. to 7MM Rem. mag. The rifle is and Stainless Classic and the rebarrel with a Douglas barrel is $750 to $800. From what I've been hearing, People who have had JES rebore a rifle have all been well pleased. I have a Ruger #1 that has a lousy barrel. I've been thinking about sending it to JES and reboring it to either 338-06 or .35 Whelen with the latter being the most likely. Paul B.
