Barrel, open bolt face and extractor work(.473" vs .532"), maybe lengthen magazine (3.062" vs 3.315) and open up action, feed rails maybe. John Farner If you haven't, please join the NRA! | |||

good reply John.....or just trade it for a LH that is alrady a magnum and rebarrel it if you want a Weatherby.....but trading it is likely the least expensive. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Suffering the same affliction, I doubt trading for a left-handed .375 Ruger is even an option. John Farner If you haven't, please join the NRA! | |||

John, I think that they mean for the OP to trade the 240 W for another left handed Weatherby that already has a magnum bolt face. That way it's just a barrel swap to change to 375 Ruger.

Of course you're right; too much Holiday celebratory libations caused me to miss that. Merry Christmas! John Farner If you haven't, please join the NRA! | |||

The 240 W is a belted magnum?? | |||

Yes the 240 is a belted magnum however the case head dia is the same as the 06 .472. The bolt would need to be opened to handle the larger dia 375 Ruger case of .532. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||
