I have a 99E JES rebored to 358 win, and it shoots/functions great. Would not hesitate to buy another.

Best way into a great Savage lightweight rifle in this cartridge. You'd pay twice that for an identical factory 358. I hunt one I put together using Savage parts and it's a great rifle. Otherwise...

That is a sweet setup.I though those oler actions were to short for 308 win. Family of cartridges. Did they do any internal work in the receiver?

Action length-wise, SH is correct.
However, the original .300 Sav magazine rotor may have had to have some metal work done to load and feed .358 cartridges.
Not common to find a 99F donor for ~$360.00.
Add the 225.00 that JES charges for a 3 groove rebore including magazine modification and your shipping+Insurance cost to JES, it will be close to the seller's asking price.

Have not shot it yet....I am afraid if I do, I might hang onto it.
My oldest son, brother and nephew all have JES 358 rebores and ALL shoot well.
I am only getting rid of it, because I want to use my 99EG in 358.
