Coincidentally, I shot my Ruger RSM 450 Rigby today. It was originally a 416 Rigby, rebored to 0.458” by JES, with 4 grooves. The rifle is accurate, with normal MVs for the loads used.

This is the second rifle I’ve had JES rebore. The other is a Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan rebored from 375 to 404 (0.423”).

In both cases, Jesse was fast, communicative and delivered excellent quality at a very reasonable price. Recommend JES.


Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry
