JES turned a .270 Rem 700 int a .35 Whelen. Accurate rifle and the work was done fast.I shot a deer up day in the VA rifle opener with said rifle.
JES is a no frills operation, but that’s fine with me. My rebored rifle is completely a field gun.

Rebore a factory barrel ? What da Fk ? Fer realz ?
Factory barrels are meant to be temps... nothing more ... while you wait for a real barrel to be made in the correct twist ... etc
That is why they screw them on instead of welding them on ......
you spend the same $$$ to rebore a factory turd when you could have a top notch barrel made

No frills is accurate describing JES. Simple and easy to deal with. Couldn’t be happier with a Ruger MKII he bored to 358 (from 243).
Yup.

Yep, all the rebores I've had done have been far better than the original barrel--due to being cut-rifled and often lapped. The process also involves enough heat to stabilize the steel.
Know this from not only interviewing many rebore/rerifle specialists, including Cliff LaBounty--who wrote a great book about the subject of barrel-making and reboring--but using a lot of rebored barrels.

There is zero logic in spending more money on a disposable tent peg factory barrel beyond original purchase price, when you can apply that cash towards a new top shelf Bartlein, Krieger, Rock Creek etc ... I've bought used & new rifles & yanked barrels off withought ever firing a single shot, smith made muzzle brakes out of a couple take-offs and I've thrown a bunch away.... some folks are far too attached to material things that are often not worth 1/4 of the money paid for them.... then spend more $$$ on 'em, SMH Get a new barrel

You also apparently lack the depth of imagination to envision a scenario where a rebore is preferable to a new barrel. Yes, by all means keep sharing your wisdom. Thanks.

Buy a 9.3 and keep the 270. All bases covered. The 270 Winchester running 110 TTSXs is one Hell of a load. It’s flat shooting, much more “shootable” than the bigger, harder, recoiling cartridges, and it will penetrate. A damn fine load.!

Before this goes too far, I better ask-
Will a Hawkeye barrel thread onto a Tanger without too much trouble?

The Ruger rebored would be cool, but whatever direction you choose to go, two thumbs up for the 9.3.
My buddies are well passed sick of hearing me talk about it, but one of my proudest and most brilliant moments to date was sourcing a large ring Husky 9.3x57 for $500, and having it rechambered to 9.3x62.

1885 Highwall that JESS rebored to 35 Whelen 10 twist 5 groove 2 shots with 180 TTSX & 2 shots 225 Accubond at 200 yards I'd say he does excellent work.
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

The only reason I would NOT go to JES is if a heavier contour was desired. He's just built too many too well for too long. And the dude calls you back on the actual phone.
