I have been collecting 83's and 87's. I have one magnum receiver, and complete rifles in .22 Hornet, .223, .22-250, .243, .270, 7mm-08, 7mm Rem Mag, .30-06, .405 Win, .45-70, and 12 gauge smoothbore (slugs).
I love these rifles; they are accurate, light, and break-down for easy carry/transport. I have some extra barrels: .223 (1), .243 (1), .270 (2), 7mm Rem Mag (2), and .30-06 (3). I was thinking I might send a couple off to JES to have them rechambered/rebored, but have yet to make the call. Some of the calibers I am interested in, considering, are .250 and .300 Savage, .35 Remington, .358 Win (or .35 Whelen), .338-06, .375-06, .416 Taylor. I am not entirely certain I want a .338 Win Mag, or a .375 H&H; the. 405 and .45-70 are tolerable, but I think the recoil velocity of the .338 Win Mag might be a bit much in a light rifle like this. I am interested in your thoughts.

We are very excited to come to Salzburg for the first time.
Should you at all have any interest in hunting with me and want to discuss different options please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up.

where are you located? I would be happy to help you with you doing the reloading but I will only load for a very few real close friends as posted before liability is the problem. but will help you.
