no, Zeigler never done a rebore for me. Did send a Rem. 30 to Jim Dubell of Clearwater Reboring - a very accurate shooter it is! Had him do various other chores as well. The rifle by the way is chambered now into a .338-06 loaded with NorthFork 225 and 52gr. of RL15. Range @100yds>.6" with a Leup. 1.5x5 -could of grouped better with a more powerful scope but you get the pic.

edit: by the way this barrel "after" the rebore needed very little break in "if" any. It is still shiny and polished like the moment he was done-almost. I may have shot some 50-60 rounds out of it to date. Barrel work by either Danny Pederson, Fred or Jim and perhaps others of the same caliber would give you the same of quality work-surely.
