re-barreling my 22-250 to 308

[steelydan]

I would like to look at making my 22-250 to a 308??? I have a Stevens 200 rifle, any input is appreciated.

Hiya
all you need is a new barrel,barrel wrench,action clamp and headspace gauge.I made an action clamp from two pieces of bar stock and bored a 34mm hole through them.

Thanks I am looking into those items now. Any suggestions for a barrel? Where to buy?

You can go use or new factory or aftermarket

[drybean]

give sinman or northland a call
go to the sponsors page
both are great to deal with

[drybean]

do not forget a new recoil lug

[GaCop]

+1 on replacing the stamped factory recoil lug.

I have a heavy stainless 26-inch .308 barrel from a model 12 and I want to switch it out to an equivalent 22-250. The bolts will work on either.

[drybean]

yep

i was actually thinking of changing my 22-250 to a 308. i've been in contact with Sharp Shooter Supply and they said if i sent them my rifle they would replace the barrel with Douglas barrel, new bolt head and put everything on for $425.

All you need is a barrel and optional recoil lug

so a new bolt head isn't necessary then?

[jglover_81]

A new bolt head is not necessary

[sinman]

Nope not needed

[Canuck Bob]

What about magazine differences?

[jglover_81]

The magazine is also the same

Do it. Don't hesitate. I have a 12BVSS that i waited and waited for until I found one in .308 and glad I did.
