Rebore a 7mm-08 to 7mm Rem Mag?

Can you rebore a standard factory Encore 7mm-08 barrel to a 7mm Rem Mag? If so, who can you send it to to do the work?

Is it possible?  Pretty sure it is.  But after you send it out (or buy the reamers to do it yourself) and replace the extractor (which will need to be replaced with the proper one for the 7 Mag) and headspace guages Id say you would be better off selling the 08 bbl somewheres and just using that money towards the purchase of the 7Mag you want.

the amount you can get by selling your 7mm-08 pluse the 100$ or so for the rechamber would buy you a new 7mag an with  the time u saved by waiting for the job to be done u can be shooting it
