i don't have a .358" rifle. never had one and never shot one. i've killed deer with the .224" the whole way up to .510", but never a .358". well, thats a problem.
this fall, i want a cz527 in 7.62x39 . this will be my back-up rifle when i'm older and can't shoot my big bores too well. next year i was going to buy a howa mini mauser and rebarrel or rebore it to 358x39(35grendel or ark or....as long as it is based on 7.62x39). AND then i had a epiphany (alright i's jus thought it!!!)"why don't you take your win m94 30-30 to a 35x30/30?".
i haven't used my m94 for about 25+/- years. she retired and i went to another cartridge(s). it was made in 1973 or '74, so a rebore is a good option. the m94, when i first had her, was put into my clothes closet. then for some reason or another, i put her in between my mattress' for 2 or 3 days. when i got her out, there was rust on the gun. everything that i did was for naught. i still have rust on the gun. (this was 20 some years ago) and the front sight was broken when i moved. i know that the m94 is sintered steel, so there is no use in rebluing. but there is cerakote(and some other that i can't remember!!!!) and that is something i have to do anyway. the front site is easy to do, but the back sight on the top eject has to go bye-bye and a peep sight should be put on.
now, i have killed many deer with the thurty-thurty(including my first ever deer, a spike!!!!). it got to the point, that the m94 would go out, leave me sleeping in my bed, and kill the deer, gut it and string her up. and then wake me up . that rifle goes with me when i die. i do love the 30/30 but i already have .308" rifle, 30-40 krag. (i used to have 4 or 5 '06 and 308) but i never had a .358". so i said to myself, "make it a 35x30/30 in your m94!!!!"
hmmmm.....ch4d should be able to make dies and i still have 30-30 brass........JES makes the rebore.....i do like cast boolits, say 200-250gr fn gc.........i'm in!!!!
what do you think?
