I am considering getting a Ruger Gunsite Scout in 308 (model 6822 to be specific).
I am wondering if it is possible to replace the bottom portion of the rifle with a standard Hawkeye trigger guard and floor plate, removing the need for detachable magazines.
I don't mind the magazines, but they aren't something I need and they are just one more thing to lose.
I know, I know, why not just get a regular Hawkeye? Well, everything else about the GSR is exactly what I want. Iron sights, barrel that is thick/heavy enough to do continuous shooting, threaded 18" barrel, pic rail, etc. And since I really don't mind having magazines, I chose the GSR over a traditional Hawkeye.
Mostly, I am just curious if there is a modification that can be done (without going to a gunsmith) fairly easily to put a floor plate on a GSR instead of having the mags.
Thank you all in advance!
