And working on getting either a .35whelen or 9.3x62 together. I've got the rifle just need to make up my mind and send it out for the rebore.

FYI the 35 Whelen is an awesome chambering. Those big 35 caliber bullets will drop anything in NA. And all you have to do is open up the mouth of 30-06 brass and fire form it. I had one years ago. It was a 98 Mauser that was my dads in 30-06 and the bore was so bad when you looked down it it looked like galvanized pipe! I had it rebarreled to 35 Whelen. That thing could shoot. Another "why did I ever sell that" rifle. Being a lefty had something to do with selling it I guess. I believe I traded it in on a Rem 700 in 270 Win.
