<Big Bore Bob>.358 Winchester
Anyone know of a source for a factory (or reasonable facsimile) .358 Win barrel for a Winchester Model 88?
I'd like to keep the original look of the 88, without having to strip the sights from my original .308 barrel...
Any clues?

swampfoxI believe most any good barrel outfit could turn you an identical profile in .358 cal. Sights shouldn't be too much of a problem either.
Doubt anyone will want to stamp it identically though.

jbmiI had my Model 88 rebored from a 308 to a 338-308. They did a great job on both the rebore and restamping the barrel.
May want to check into a rebore of the existing barrel.
