[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 2139197, member: 103996"] One of the guys I hunt with has a 35 whelen that’s been rebored up from 30-06 on a Winchester 70. It was done by JES. The thing could shoot tacks all day. So yes, it’s possible. And yes, the results can be very good. Should you do it? Meh. The cost of reboring is similar to that of just buying a new barrel and having it done. Maybe $100 more for new barrel vs rebore, but I’d personally rather just get a new barrel. If I’m buying a gun I’d rather see “Bartlein barrel” than “factory barrel rechambed and bored.” That and you can choose more options with a new barrel than an existing one, such as exact profile, material (stainless vs blues) fluting, etc. but that’s just by .02 [/QUOTE]
