From a 300 Savage. Functions great. Blue has issues as seen in pics.
No cracks in wood, that I can see. Aftermarket butt pad, has rear sight filler and comes with bases. For those interest, 11J date code means a 1958 model. $599 shipped.

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?

No work done on internals. Functions as it should.
Thanks.

Once Savage introduced the 243/308/358 they were all the same action length and as you can see Jim's rifle is a 1958 version.

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.
