Anybody have experience with 'em.
His work on 7600s and 99s have me thinking, but would love to hear from those with actual experience.

I have a 7600 he rebored and rechambered from 30.06 to 35 whelen. It looks good to the naked eye and it shoots very well with 225gr. accubonds. The price is right, on his work, too. I'm very happy with his work. In fact, I'm getting ready to send another one to him to convert to 338-06.

The 7600 '06 to Whelen is one of my current thoughts. Thanks for the info.

Weagle has had at least 1, maybe more, Marlins rebored/rechambered from 30-30 to 375 and reported good things about Jessie O's work, price, and speed.
I talked to Mr. O about having a Savage 99 in 300 Savage rebored/rechambered to 338 Fed, but he told me that he had done a couple and the guys were having high pressure issues with factory ammo. I can't bring myself to sell a firearm that might not be safe with factory ammo, so I decided to punt on the 99F in 338 Fed project.

Thanks Jeff.
I found a "bubba" 99 in .308 and thought about a .358 rebore/rechamber. I'm just a po' public servant and can't justify the scratch to pick up an original. The idea of a 7600 in Whelen has always been a want of mine, though.
So many projects, so little time (and money).

My brother bought a Mauser sporter that had been rebored from 30-06 to 35 whelen by JES. It was well done, and shot very well right off the bat.

I never found the Savage 99F and 358 combo to be pleasant to shoot, more of a teeth rattler! But if I lived in moose country, I think that a 99 in 358 would be a logical choice.

Jeff,
Not that I ever figure I'll draw in NH, but a 99 in .358 would be an appropriate choice. I'm thinking the one I found was an "E".
Yeah, Marc, I know. I missed that BLR in the classifieds and could get one in, but thought about this route. Still not sure.

George I have a 99E and thought about it a bunch. Guess I'm glad I went BLR on the 358.

Not a mountain rifle contour but a sporter counter should be fine.

I'm looking to have a standard Winchester M70 25-06 rebored into a .338-06. This should work right?

JES just did a Sedgley Springfield from 30-06 to 375 Whelen for me. Fast turn around, ten days. It's headed to the range tomorrow for it's first trip. I have a couple more projects for him as finances allow.

Yep JES rebored a old Win pre 64 m-70 06 to a 338-06, fast turn around time and that rifle shoots more accurately now than before. Its heading to colorado end of month for a late cow hunt, can't wait.

George. He rebored a bubba'd mauser for me from 30-06 to 9.3x62. Turn around was about 3 weeks. And about 240.00 with shipping

He rebored a .308 barrel to .358 for me many years ago. I didn't install it but heard good things from the guy I traded it to. The turn around time on the rebore was crazy fast and he was great to deal with...told him the caliber and twist I wanted and a great looking barrel came back.
