I’m thinking of rechambering my Roger M77 to a short 30 cal but not sure what my options are. Roger tells me my 7.62x39/barrel is .308, not .311 but I’ll have to confirm first. Would like a 300 Blackout but chamber is too long to “clean up”. Any ideas?

Sell it and buy what you want.

For a handloader a 300 Savage in a short bolt action is a neat set up. Aren't the Ruger short action magazines around 3" as well? That could be very interesting with modern VLD bullets seated out. I know the Berger 168 gr. VLD works great for my 700 Classic.

Sell it and buy what you want. And if you are interested in accuracy, get something other than a Ruger.

Not having any idea how long the action is, how about a 30 Grendel? Just a clean-up of the shoulder area basically.
And you wouldn't have to open up the boltface like with a .473" head cartridge.

7.62 rim diameter (bolt geometry) is not compatible with the common .473" found on most .30 cal cartridges. Not saying it can't be done, just not as simple as one might thing at first blush. The spec diameter for the Rooskie case is .447 -.010

Trade up to a SKS. You already have ammo.

You could be the first to have a 7.62x39 AI.

M77 short actions should all be the same length. May have to buy a different mag box and open the bolt face but if you are willing to do that any short 30 cal ought to work. M77 are a but heavy but other than that they are a solid action. On the other hand in spite of the negative comments that is a fairly desirable rifle in 7.62x 39. Check Cast boolits site. several folks over there love them.
