Today I was blessed to find a like new Striker in 22-250 wearing a Burris 5x AO scope. Seller had bought it new and never shot it much.

He was asking $250 - but accepted $200 :)

I'd like to convert this one to 204 Ruger and take it out prairie dogging.

I believe what I'd need to do this would be to order a new bolt head, magazine box and follower from the Savage parts dept.
I'd also need to find a take off small shank rifle barrel and have it cut down.

Anything else? I have an action wrench but would have to buy a guage and another savage nut wrench.

Reason I want to change out is I've got 500+ rounds of 204 handloads + dies but nothing on hand for 22-250.

Also, is there a way to take a bit of sponginess out of this trigger?

Thanks

Mike
