Ruger caliber conversion.

(1/2) > >>

MountainWalk:
Was kind of curious. Does anyone have any idea if its possible to convert a ruger second model 77 338 to the new 375 ruger by merely rebarreling? Some one whose opinion I value told me it may not because of bolt face sizes.  I don't know why I'm so enamoured by the 375 Ruger, but I'm quite stricken by this load.

high country:
I don't recall the 375 bolt face being too big to open the bolt up to..........however, unless you have some kind of bond with your action, you will be $$$ ahead to sell your gun and buy a 375.

MountainWalk:
Barrels aren't that expensive.

MountainWalk:
I know they arent no thousand bucks.

Slenk:
Should of kept the Savage you could of made the change for a couple hundred. :) :dunno: You will have to have a Gunsmith set headspace on the Ruger .No need to open up the bolt face as they are both .532-inch rim .
Barrels from E.R. Shaw are $150 ish and good barrels.
