Has anyone had a Superlite rebored and if so what caliber? Have a 6.5 Creedmoor that seems a little redundant and was thinking it could be a fun project.

Have a 1-8 blank sitting in the reloading room for another project. Rebores are normally big bore and run around $250 last I looked. Would love to do a 9.3x62 but think the flutes May stop that.

He rebores just about anything small to large, $345. Any day now I’ll take delivery of a 7 mag he’s turned into a .416 Taylor for me.

What’s a rebore cost? Yup. Swap out bolt stop for a long action and throat for heavies.

Seen him on a plane a few months back. He posts as BW on here.

That must be some per-capita record!

Jess turned my old Springfield 03A3 into a 338-06 for my grandson. We like it and he is a pleasure to deal with.
I have thought about a stainless 22" barreled Tikka Lite bored to a .35 Whelen or 9.3x62 with a couple of those 5 round magazines, should make a good rifle to have along when fishing salmon streams and moose hunting.

I’m hard on a blued gun. Was thinking of almos the same setup on the Tikka. Really think the 9.3 would be fun. Not much big or dangerous game around me unless someone considers hogs dangerous but have killed 100s with 7.62 steel case. They die easy.

I would go 21 or 22". You should be able to do that without getting into the flutes. RJ

Well may have to look for another donor. If I’m running my numbers correctly I don’t think the reamer will clean up the Creedmoor shoulder.
