300 wsm to 204 ruger

[lemmy]

Hey,
I have a model 16 woo wsm,left hand,and was wondering if I can get any feedback on converting it.Any and all advice is appreciated.

You might be better off selling it and buying the 204. Your gun is a large shank so you will need a large shank barrel. If you are going to keep it as a sporter you will have to get a custom barrel made. I think some of the target barrels are large shank so one of those would work but they are long (26") and heavy. You would also have to change your bolt head and if you want it to be a repeater, the mag box and follower.
I am sure others will chime in with further and possibly more accurate info.

You can purchase all the parts from Sharp Shooters Supply, Midway , Brownells and others. You can do all the conversion yourself. Most everybody here has done one or more and will advise if needed.

How about a WSSM conversion instead of the .204 and defer the .204 to another action?
