.22 RF Mag converted to .17 HMR
      25/07/09 02:40 PM

How easy is it to convert a .22 RF Mag into a .17 HMR?

If re-barrelled will the mag, any feed rails, bolt face etc still work or what modifications would be needed?

I would like to source an old .22 RF Mag in a CZ or Brno and rebarrel plus ???. I don't particularly like the modern styling of any of the rifles offered in .17 HMR.

Thanks.

A.17 HMR would work particularly well shooting small game such as hares, rabbits and foxes in vineyards. Also as the fragile bullet would be less likely to ricochet as compared to a .22 RF.
