Like new, have the box and all paper work. Am looking to have it re-barreled to a 6.5 Creedmore....will rounds cycle/eject without changing anything? What barrel would you suggest and who to do this? Any idea of the price? Thanks for the suggestions

Good luck with the rebarrel process. expect at least 600.00 for the barrel and chambering.

A simple Whizzum box swap,along with ejector/bolt stop and you have sumptin'. Hint. You can Smooch 147's square,nestle the new box and chase lands. Hint.................

The OEM .473" S/A boxes are exceedingly trite in COAL. Hint. Focus is ALWAYS to conjoin RPM,COAL and Throat Geometry and seek the best projectile possible. The 'box MUST be stretched,to allow same.

Doubly so,when in a CM pickle and the S/S componetry abounds. Though I of course actually fhuqking shoot. Hint. Fortunately for you,Imagination and Pretend are free,so even YOU can "afford" to "contribute". Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!.......................

The 338 Twat-Six Aye Eye is in fact exceptional,from stem to stern. The EW Kreedmire is sound too. Hint. Best Winny I ever had. Hint. After The Chop and Lump Turn,this ain't horrible. Hint. Wears a different scope now. Fhuqk Winchesters. Hint.................... Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains.
