Rebore to 9.3; Should I? Where could I?
I'm thinking about having a Ruger Mk II 30-06 Express rifle (with the integral quarter rib) rebored to 9.3x62. Ruger doesn't make this rifle anymore and I guess there are not a whole lot of them around, so I'm wondering if it is a good candiate for reboring or might it be better left as is?

I have read that Cliff LeBounty sold his operation and is not doing rebores at present. Any recommendations of others doing good reboring work? Thanks.

Here is a recent post on this very subject.

Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I've decided to use Jim Dubell. Partly because of La Bounty's past rep and partly because he can do it in less than 8 months. I'd like to have mine done before the fall.

akriet,
To clarify zlr's post. Jim Dubell has purchased Cliff's boring business and has been trained by Cliff. I was on the phone with him just an hour ago. 509 684 5855

Danny Pedersen in Prescott, AZ and Al Siegrist in MI also do re-boring. You can get in touch with Danny at www.cutrifle.com

Danny's a nice guy but he's also one of those that needs 6 months to rebore. A plus for him though is that he can and will chamber a 9.3x62 unlike some others.

I'm going to have Dan Pedersen rebore a 9.3x57 Husky to .376 Steyr for me. We've talked about it, and yes, he did quote a six-month delivery time.

Dan Pedersen is doing one of my 30-378's and he also quoted 6 month turn around.

Customstox- Thanks for the contact info for Jim.
