Simple question.
Could I take a browning magnum pump rifle or lever gun in 300 win mag and replace the barrel with a 416 ruger?

It would be a pretty awesome gun.

Be interested in opinions on this one. The BLR handles the 300wmag as well as the 325WSM which is larger in dia then the 416 Ruger.


As usual just my $.02

FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

Wait a minute, what kind of fun is this ?
someone need to tell him he doesn't want a 416 Ruger - what he needs is a 505 Gibbs. Big Grin

Other than that all I would add is to make sure the butt stock was well reinforced for the additional recoil


Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship
