Box magazine for M77

[RCGBOB44]

Hi there, does anyone know if a box magazine conversion is available for the Ruger M77 Hawkeye Predator in .223.

Having to reload everty 5 rounds is a real pain.

Any help and comments would be appreciated.

I don't believe that is available for any Hawkeye or 77 MK II or the earlier version 77, for that matter.
I have never found reloading any top loading bolt action rifle a pain. It's very easy and can be done in seconds. Perhaps you should have bought the 77-22 in .22 Hornet? or a Mini 14?

Evidently, some of not heard of F class or various types of competitive shooting where "Bottom Metal" conversions are quite popular.
That being said, it is hard to convert the M77, the Rem 700 & Savage design lend themselves quite well to this and is quite common.
