Is there enough meat there in a 30-06 for barrel to take this rebore?

I don't think I'd try it with a fwt barrel. You'd be better off with a std wt barrel.. Curious to see what the others think as well..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I would call Jess up at JES rebore he will tell you if I remember right if the muzzle is .750 he can do the rebore. My buddy ended up doing his 9.3x62 on a std weight contour barrel. His rifle started of as stainless classic in a 06.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

The featherweight was chambered for the 358 Win with a .358 bore and the 9.3 is .366. I once rebored and rechambered a featherweight barrel to 338 Win. Mag. I now do not feel comfortable with the rebore. The fly in the ointment is the rear sight dovetail cut. The barrel gets real thin at this point. I once met the famous barrel maker Paul Marquart. He had only part of one hand, the results of a barrel of his blowing up.

I had a rebore done by Jess on a standard weight to a 9.3 with no problems. Have also had a pre-64 Fwt. done to 358 Win to clean up a bulged barrel with no issues. I'm going to have another standard 7 mag punched to 358 Norma as soon as I can get it sent out the door to him.
