That’s kind of what I did. I found a nice SS model 70 from New Haven and had it rebored by JES BEFORE I shot it. Ya know what they say about shooting the donor. Anyway, it turned out great and shoots wonderfully just like the 338 Federal and the 9.3x62 also done by JES.

Now just to figure out which one to carry any given day.

Take care, Les

Its not always easy to do the right thing, But it is always the right thing to do.
