I should have been a gun smith, there are to many options, I want to do them all!

You might make some of your customers mad if you changed their calibers though :chuckle: :chuckle:
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.

buy a savage and do them all yourself.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I had my Rem 721 rebored to 35 Whwlen and am very pleased with the results.  The rebore to 338-06 or 35 Whelen should run around $200, if that rings your chimes PM me for a list of rebore shops.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

JES reboring I believe was a little over $ 200, I like the 338-06 there are more bullets to choose from.
