Ruger rpr magnum caliber change

[Varmiter71]

I have a Ruger rpr magnum in 338 lapua.
I have the chance to get a 300 prc takeoff barrel that was never fired.
Can I use the same bolt and magazine.
I know that the bolt face is a little smaller but I am hoping that it is close enough to work or just a extractor swap.
If I need a different bolt, how do I get one.
I emailed ruger and the said that they do not make bolts for a different caliber than the rifle was made for and you have to send it in.

is the rope action the same as a ruger 77 if it is you can get one on Ebay

Nope, but you could do a .300 norma mag

Won't work properly, you need the proper bolt face for the cartridge. As stated, 300 nm or 30-338 lapua if you want a 30 caliber. Otherwise, start looking to see if someone wants to sell just the magnum bolt face bolt out of their RPR, or try to get a buddy that works for Ruger.

I have not done the barrel swap.
I could not find a new bolt
