Ok i have a ruger m77 .243 and fed up with costs of bullets. .223 is more of my kinda load and i was wondering if ruger offers a caliber conversion. Barrel and bolt maybe?? Have no information whatsoever right now anything would help.

Even if they do, you'd be money ahead trading your 243 in for a 223. JMO, Dutch.

20 Rounds,
If you are interested in selling the 243, send me a message at smithgga@aol.com and we can talk. I'm interested in the action for another project.

Re-barrel to .22-250 or .22BR. You can use your current bolt, and take advantage of the cheaper .224" bullets.

You would not only need a new bolt and barrel, but also a new magazine box, follower, and block. As a previous poster said, you'd be big money ahead selling your .243 and buying a .223.

But of course if a ".50 cal isn't big enough for coyotes", what do you intend to shoot with a .223? Crickets?

Alright guys i guess the .243 is up for sale. With the money i get from the gun i think im gonna get a .223 Handi rifle heavy barrel nice scope and if i can fit it in my budget send it to get trigger job done.I guess ill start asking 350 OBO. Thanks(Ruger M77 MII .243 rings and sling 3-9x40 scope if needed.)

Yeah the .243 is my version of a bb gun lol. I prefer grasshopers over crickets though they give you a lil bit more of a challenge . Thanks for the help guys and if anyone is interested just PM me or email me bassmaster24@hotmail.com
