Thinking of building a sub 375-08, 375-308, 375-08 Jaguar. Does any body have a reamer I could possibly rent? thanks

Check with Devin at Sinarms and Jim Briggs at Northland. If they don't have it, they can steer you in the right direction.

i never got a pm from you, atleast not that I saw. If you get the reamer I can make the barrel.

Would it be possible to rent a .308 reamer with the removable pilot and put a .375 pilot on it. Suppose you would have to throat it longer than the .308 reamer, is this even remotely how a machinist works?

You would also need a 375necking and throating reamer. Then it would be seperate machining steps. prolly be cheaper to just buy a 375-08 reamer.

This is one of the reasons I have never got into machining, the other is the cost. I weld and grind this is the extent of my machining. :)

I weld for a living, but machining is much easier!

I shoot thermite welds, not exactly what most people think of when talking about welding. My "machining" is measured with a 24" straightedge after grinding. ;D

as long as your not running the same repetitive part day after day.

Hunter2, PTG charges $95 for a solid pilot reamer, If you call them and they have a print on file there is no extra charge. You may find one on ebay also, I Have bought a couple there for about what a rental would cost. of course finding what you want may be difficult.
