I have a M70 Classic Stainless FWT that I am thinking of turning to a 338 since I already have another M70 30-06 FWT.

I like the fact that JES is about $300 to rebore it, but at the same time can't help but consider getting a Brux/Bartlien/Rock Creek and just doing it from scratch essentially.

What does your experience tell you? Spend the money for a better barrel, or save a few bucks and keep the gun "in tact" essentially.

If you're running 200gr bullets, what are you getting for speed?


Wanted: Vintage Remington or Winchester hats, patches, shirts. PM me if you have something.
