I was thinking about this a wile Back
Looked at cost of Barrel .... about the same for any cal / install but does the person doing the work Have a reamer ???? add $200 or so
Brass .. cost of brass
Dies ... Cost
Bullets ... $
if I was going to do it I would go .35 Whelen
ps I have a Savage Long action was 30-06 is now 243 ... thinking about 358 win with a barrel / twist heavy enough to push to 35 Whelen ...
358 win would still make a nice in close bush gun .. deer.moose. bear / low cost plinker
358 win brass can be made from 308, 35 Whelen can be made from 30-06

More than thirty years ago I had Les Bauska in Kalispell, Montana, rebore a pre-war Model 70 in 270 to 9.3X62. It had been horribly neglected, and both the bore and the chamber were dark and pitted. Since the chamber dimensions of the ‘62 are bigger all around than the 270, the rebore cleaned them both up to new metal condition.
The rifle fed, chambered, fired, and extracted perfectly. I would expect yours to do the same. I hunted and killed literally tons of big game with it for years.
It is still being used by my son.

You can get ER Shaw 9.3x62 chambered barrels from Trade ex for 269. the contour is 2.5. The barrels are carbon, but if it helps, that is preferred for mono solids.
They also sell Dumouling actions, so you can make up a Don Heath special, like his baby. He shot thousands of DG, many with the 9.3, and had a Dumoulin towards the end. As a young guy he also carried a 9.3x62 Mauser while hunting in areas where he had a good chance of meeting insurgents in the Rhodesian bush.
Trade ex also have 9.3 barrels for the Garrand! But it isn't too clear where you would use those in Turdoland.
