JG,

Find a bud with a bore scope. If the bore is trash, send it to JES, rebore to 338-06.

The one I gave my hunting bud has a '42 vintage barrel that's pristine, shoots MOA or better. Some of those older guns may have had corrosive ammo.

Not sure how many you'll find with a pristine bore.

Mr Dirtfarmer........my buddy has a borescope so I took it to him and the barrel is corroded terribly, as you mentioned. I like your JES idea, and I need a stock like that. Where did you get it? Wondering if it would be best to find a compatible 30-06 barrel and swap it out, or rebarrel as you said. I know squat about a 338-06. Thanks buddy.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
