I recently had a Sportsman 78 (M-700) re-barrelled to 358Winchester by KS Arms In Alberta. 22" 12T factory sporter contour, bbl coated and bedded into a Brown Precision. Weight is 6.75lbs scoped with a 2-7. This was my 1st time dealing with them and did so based on the good reviews I've read here. Rifle landed here last week.
Saying that, I could not be happier with the service and product they offer. Turnaround was very close to the quoted time, rifle was flawless, the machining in the bbl showed no machine marks whatsoever and the C/S and communications were prompt and polite. I will certainly be calling them if I need another barrel job.
Rifle is quickly proving to be quite accurate so far. Only had it out a couple times to get the scope zeroed and to have a starter load for hunting this fall. The final load development can wait till later for now.
This 50yrd load was the very 1st group I shot with it getting the scope lined up. I was happy to see that! It's a shame I don't have more of those Remington 200gr CL bullets and they are N/A here in Canada anymore.
