I have a 1949 Win. model 70 chambered in 3006 that I would like to have the barrel rebored and chambered to 9.3x62 is this possible? If this is possible any recommendations on who you would have do it? Thank you, Bryan | ||

It is a natural fit and my pre-64 9.3x62 is the rifle I now carry the most. I have Norm Johnson in Turtle Lake, ND due mine nrjonsn@westriv.com 701-448-9188 Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

Yep, another heathen here with a 9.3x62 barrel on my previous 25/06 classic M70. Cheers, Mark. | |||

Why not just put on a new barrel? You won't have to re-stamp the caliber and "X" out the old. Would make for a nicer install and maybe more accurate. Just my humble opinion. Jim Kobe 10841 Oxborough Ave So Bloomington MN 55437 952.884.6031 Professional member American Custom Gunmakers Guild | |||

I have considered doing this to one of my M70 Classics, originally a 30-06. Stuffing the magazine full of 9.3x62 cartridges and working the bolt I find the feeding less than ideal. Is this just my rifle or have you had any feeding work done on yours to make them work 100%? I would have thought the cases were similar enough not to create any issues. | |||

might it be the fact that the x62 rim diameter is a couple thousandths larger? Rich | |||

More than possible but preferable in my opinion. I had Cliff LaBounty rebore an FN 30-06 to 9.3x62 in 2000 and it is a great shooter and no XXX of caliber remark. Back then it was 50% of the cost of a blued barrel/sight replacement. new barrel. | |||
