I have this old ruger 77 with a tang safety that was my father's rifle, so I'm not interested in getting rid of it, but I would like to rebarrel it to a more interesting chambering. It is currently a .25-06, but I have an interest in a 6.5-284 which I've never owned before. Other than the obvious barrel swap, would I have to change anything else, perhaps the magazine follower? I would be paying someone, I don't have these skills myself. Thanks for any help. Don't bother trying to talk me out of the cartridge choice.
Thanks,
