Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles J E S Rifle Reboring

Now that's a bunch of cool factor.

Anymore JES rebore happening around here. I keep looking for a recent to not make a 9.3x62 or 400 Whelen.

Scotty, it seems to be kind of quiet as of late. I'm thinking I'm going to have to just give in to temptation and have my classic sporter 30-06 re-bored to 9.3x62mm. I love that cartridge. I'll do it one of these day!! Hey, have a merry Christmas buddy..

I just talked to Jesse on the phone this morning about a rebore. Seemed very pleasant, and was more than willing to answer my questions. Said turn-around time was about a week.

A week?! That's great for a rebore job, especially of JES quality.

I sent an 8x57 Brno to him for rebore and chamber to 9.3x62. Came back in less than a week. Excellent work

I had a 270 bored out to 338-06 last month by JES. Super fast turn around and it shoots great. After this I can say this won't be my last rebore done by him.

I recently had a savage 99 E 308 bored out to 358 winchester. Turn around time was 11 days from shipped to received. Quality was excellent, fit and finish was great. The rifle functions and shoots very well. I would have another one done in a heartbeat.

I�ve actually been keeping my eyes peeled for a model 94 winchester with a crappy bore to have bored out to 35/30 win.

So, does he have to take the barrel off to rebore?

I sent in my 30 Gibbs a bit ago,it came back as a 35 Gibbs real fast. He shot it and sent a case and an informative note. I'm very happy and impressed with JES!

I just built a small wooden crate and sent the barrelled action.

Jim

yes.

Prior to removing barrel, he witness marks with a small punch. After reboring/chambering the witness marks are lined up again.

JES punched out my Rem 721 to 9.3x62. It's a shooter.

had one from 06 to 338-06 last year.

Shoots well enough. Fouls with Barnes bullets. Thats the only bullet I"ll shoot.

I really need to call him and see if we can send back and pay him to lap the hell out of it.

I've done all I can without pouring a lap in the barrel to lap.

But for the cost it was worth the effort.

If I wanted top notch accurayc, I'd rebarrel.

Just sent Jess a 99 f to rebore to 358 win

Want to send a 30/06 to 'em for a 9.3x62 this year hopefully...

I've had 3 rebores done by JES. I asked that he mark the underside of the barrel with the new caliber, etc., and NOT mark out the old caliber markings. In turn, I took the rebored barreled action and milled off the old caliber marking and had a local guy engrave the new caliber in the mill cut.

On one rebore, I did all of the above before sending it to JES.

The best thing to have ever happened to a 25-06 is to become a 9.3x62. You're a good man Deflave.

In my experience (going on five rifles now between me and my friends) JES rebores produce rifles which are wonderfully accurate.

Local shop has a bunch of .411 300 grain bullets and I have a .35 Whelen with a barrel that's too heavy and doesn't shoot that well. I'm thinking this'll get to grow up to become a .400 Whelen and an old Marlin just might get a bigger hole in the barrel too thanks to JES.

Eldest son just got his Whitworth Express back last week. 30/06 to .35 Whelen. He loves it! It appears to be a shooter!

I am about to send him another rifle to be rechambered. He will also rechamber pretty quickly. I'd not hesitate to send him any rifle to be rechambered/rebored.

Rost495, my 35 Newton took some shooting to smooth out and still requires a few fouling shots to settle back down with the 3 groove. It's really not too much different than my Pre64 338.. I don't clean either bore till they REALLY need it now. They stay on top for a long time..

That's good to know Scotty.........One of these days...one of these days...
