Beretzs, Nice pictures. š
I spoke with JES and Iāve gotta say that right off the bat heās impressing me. Heās excellent with communication and returning phone calls. Iām going to go the re-bore route and have him cut and crown at 21.5ā just to be different Iām also going to go with the hard chrome finish since Iām suspect of Cerakote in the wet-saltwater and rainforest environment along with the use itās likely to receive š. You canāt beat the re-bore/chamber along with the cut and crown for $275 including return shipping. He said his turnaround is about a week from when he gets it which is a very quick turnaround for damn near anything in the gun world. š. Iām not in any hurry anyway but itās the suspense of seeing what your ānewā rifle looks like that affects those of us inflicted with gunitis. Iāll ship it out in a couple weeks.
I just cleaned out the barrel channel and will glass bed the barreled action into the original stock so that the barrel is free-floated. I put another coat of oil on the stock and sure do think itās a nice, old, classic stock. Itāll wear that until I get a McMillan McWoody but in the mean time Iāll work on scopes and load. I think that for my intended purpose a 225TSX is what Iām shooting for as an all around big critter stopper. Iād like to get 2700fps and would be delighted with anything faster. Iām not recoil shy and shoot magnums as well as anything.
