I have an opportunity to pick up a BAR at a really good price. I want it but id like to change the caliber. Its currently 7mm mag. Id like to make it 338 mag or 300 mag. Browning made both so in theory it doesnt seem impossible. My gunsmith says it possible.

I know it sounds crazy but the gun is in 95+ condition for $450. A sane guy would just embrace 7mm mag but I just cant. I know theres nothing that 300 mag can do that 7mm mag cant do too. Maybe 338 mag has an advantage on heavier game but is it that much? Its just that I cant find the love for 7mm mag....and stock guns are boring.

The Browning line up is really limited from what it used to and BARs just arent the same, so this seems like a fun project.
