i just got a stevens 200 in 300 win mag and im looking to do a Conversion from 300win mag to 22-250 can this be done or shoud i just get a Short Action

Can be done rather easy. You'll need a .473" ( 25-06, 30-06, 270, etc.) sized bolt head and a 30-06 type magazine and you're set to go, or a SSS single shot follower if a Single shot will work for you.

to turn the 300win mag to 22-240

[bootsmcguire]

yup, you may have to mess witht the 30-06 mag just a bit, but shouldn't be too bad, you could also shim in a 22-250 mag into the stock if you prefer. But the easiest way is a 30-06 bolthead and a Single shot follower.

so all i will need is this kit http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct...tnumber=234918 and a .473" head and the mag parts

[bootsmcguire]

yeah pretty much. I would think about a 1-12 or a 1-9 twist instead of the 1-14 twist of that kit. The 14 twist kind of limits you a bit unless you are always going to shoot lighter bullets with no plans of ever going heavier than 50 or maybe 55gr.

I guess I should have asked if the mag is a Centerfeed or a Stagger Feed? Will make a difference on what parts you get. Other than that, yes the kit and a .473" bolt face for a Long Action (30-06) and you are set.

Remember too you can become a paid member and sell off your old parts here in the classifieds and make some money back, the Magnum bolt head, the 300WM magazine, and barrel.
