Should add he also does standard or gain twist rifling. I highly recommend the gain twist


I have a candidate for a rebore in my 264 WM not sure exactly what I want yet but looking at the 7mm Wby, 308 Norma or 358 Norma for various reasons. I would be curious to know how much he typically charges, what kind of time frame would be normally involved, also would find it interesting to hear of why you prefer the gain twist barrel over standard rifling?
