I would think he owes you a complete rifle, or a refund in dollars of the value of a complete rifle.
This is just crazy.
I spoke with JES today, and he indicated that the bore job just didn't look right to him....hence the reason he went up the .358. I can't recall the exact wordage, but he basically stated it would have likely been fine as it was, but he didn't want to take a chance. I'm satisfied with his response, and 100% content with his handling of the situation.
As far as rebarreling, there is no way to do this job for $500. The barrel blank is $300, and 'smith work is a minimum of $300...and there is no way I am having a rifle rebarreled without the action being worked (that's another $200). Then, I'm not putting a trued action/rebarrel into an ADL stock, so $300 more for a nice stock.
Nope, I'm happy with the $250 rebore.
