That should be a good one.

Of course, expect photos when you get it done.

UPS or USPS both ways will take more time than JES.

Amazing turnaround, good price and great work...

Yep He's done a couple for me already. 35 whelen and 375 winchester. I've been very happy with the guns and the turnaround.

I have a 9x57 mauser that I load for and have a nice mild load with a 200gr Remington RNCL. A couple hundred fps faster than a 35 rem and it has been effective on deer. I also have about 10 pounds of the old 150gr remington pointed corelocks. I used to load them in a .350 mag and they were bombs on armadillos and such. For most of my hunting I can use very mild .358 loads, but I can always add the juice if it's called for.
