Rebarreling a browning BLR?

[David L]

Do you know someone who did it? And the finish product was top.
Lf a gunsmith with those skills.
Want to change a 308 in 375 raptor

Depends on the vintage of the rifle. Apparently the old ones (pre 81 from what I can tell) are a very simple affair, same as any other rebarrelling job, save for the extra complexity of the BLR. Rifles made after that point vary between impossible and unviable. Unless you have an early firearm, I think your best bet would be not to pursue.

I would rebore and rechamber into a 375/08 wildcate with the trim to length that the parent case shrinks to when expanded to .375 if a 375 raptot chamber reamer wouldn't clean up the now bored out chamber, you've got a few options to look into if you really want to go this route

I have rebarreled a couple of them in both cases a remington 700 .243 pull of was used. There was really nothing unusual about this operation. But this was quite a long time ago and they were likely old rifles . I know nothing about rebarreling issues with newer versions. You may have your heart set on the .375 but think about .358 Win. they were a factory issued rifle.
That caliber might be a bit hard to come by . Gubroker has a few offered ,Importing one from the US might still be cheaper than a rebarrel job.
