How hard would it be to convert a Ruger 77 (MKII or Hawkeye) to a 458 WM? Assuming you were starting out with a 338 or the like and other than the re-barreling how much feed and function work would be required? Thanks Matt V. ______________________ Sometimes there is no spring... Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm... | ||

It would be easy. Probably just some reshaping and polishing of the feed ramp and rails after a rebarrel. A re-barrel and a feed job. | |||

easy ... easier than a mauser if you start with a magnum (7/300/338) it is a rebarrel away... or a 458 AccRel .. or for a couple more dollars, you can make it a lott, which is smaller than the AR my experience is that it is a rebarrel and LITTLE feeding opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?
