you spend the same $$$ to rebore a factory turd when you could have a top notch barrel made

Total B S

A JES re-bore is 1/2 the cost with a quick turn around. He does a good job, and how many shooters will ever shoot out a 358, 338, 35 Whln, 9.3X62?

There is zero logic in spending more money on a disposable tent peg factory barrel beyond original purchase price, when you can apply that cash towards a new top shelf Bartlein, Krieger, Rock Creek etc ... I've bought used & new rifles & yanked barrels off withought ever firing a single shot, smith made muzzle brakes out of a couple take-offs and I've thrown a bunch away.... some folks are far too attached to material things that are often not worth 1/4 of the money paid for them.... then spend more $$$ on 'em, SMH

Get a new barrel


So then, you have no actual experience with rebores? You also apparently lack the depth of imagination to envision a scenario where a rebore is preferable to a new barrel. Yes, by all means keep sharing your wisdom. Thanks.

I go through a couple pairs of Redwing work boots a year & never once envisioned a scenario where I imagined it would be preferable to resole them

I throw them away

Buy a pair of JK, Nicks or White's. Then when the lugs run thin, you will not be thinking so much about throwing boots away and will be thinking about getting them resoled instead. A pair of any one of those boots cost as much as a rifle, that is why getting them resoled cost about as much as JES charges to rebore a factory barrel. Nothing wrong with the end product of either one.
