270 to 35 whelen - rebore

[Lost Oki]

I have a Weatherby Vanguard in 270.  24" #3 contour barrel.
can it be rebored to 35 Whelen improved....if so who?
Actually I plan to cut it to 22" before hand

Most rebore shops will require that any rebore to .358 have a muzzle OD of at least .600", and will not rebore a chromed bore.

The least expensive is Jes Ocumpaugh, in Oregon (tel: 541-942-1342 ) - who uses three groove rifling and a six-week turn around by appointment only @ $225 paid in advance + shipping, as of last year, IIRC.

GBO sponsor Wayne York of Oregunsmithing will do it, his min barrel diameter is .550", cost with be about $300, I've had a couple barrels done, he does excellent work.

Thanks guys.  Barrel is currently a #3 contour and .625 at muzzle (24") I plan
on shortening it to 22" so it will come in around .640, about middle between
#3 and #4 contour.
