IF you want to maintain the current barrel, it makes sense.

My re-bore job cost $350 in NOV.

During the same time I had a Rem 700 re-barreled with a Bartlein 2B, which cost $400 for the blank and just over $200 to fit it.

Normally I prefer to re-barrel, but in my case re-barreling a 7600 would have been much more expensive than the JES re-bore. There are a lot of reviews from guys that have gotten excellent accuracy from re-bores.
