308 to 358...............win..........?

[kamlooky]

Trying to skinny up around here and do enjoy the 30 calibers.
I've dun and bawt a BLR in 308win and have a BLR81 in 358win.
Also have an old Ruger 77 in 308win.

What would it take and what sort of muhnnies would it cost to convert
this rifle to the 358win?

Screw off a barrel and turn another on?

Dang SuperFuddCub and that pretty shooter he has keeps me up awll nite
thinking 'bout it.............................

extractor notches? head spacing? dovetail for sights? contour, cut and crown? fluting? All or most of that would cost more then the barrel did.

Your too used to the savages and barrel nuts Jerry.

Or sell the Ruger 308 and buy a 358... May just know someone looking for a Ruger M77 308.....

I have also thought about sending a rifle in 30-06 to Ron Smith and having him re-boar to 338 for a 338-06.
