17 hmr to 17 hornet - 24hourcampfire

I have a Ruger 77 in 17hmr is it difficult to have it reamed to a 17 hornet?

You’d have to contend with converting the bolt to CF and I’m pretty sure the Hornet bolts have locking lugs and the rimfires don’t aside from the handle. Plus the magazine and it’s opening are larger. Probably not a workable conversion.

The Kid is right. Its not gonna happen.

no can do. Different actions.....

Thanks guys I will stay on the hunt for another gun then. Darn

Good to know Butch. I was too lazy to go dig mine out to look.
