There was a thread on a 260 rebore to 358 or 338 fed. Any problems with going from 6.5 swede to 35 whelen in a cz 550 fs?

I think it would work. Call JES and ask. Personally I would sell the CZ and buy a Whelen if that what you want.

I''d re-barrel instead of re-bore, unless you have sights you really like on the 6.5X55 and want to keep them.
But even adding sights to a new barrel is not a big deal.

A nice 550fs in 6.5x55 commands a premium these days. You could probably get your money back and then some.

The problem is losing the 6,5 Swede.
