Others Anyone ever change caliber on a Sniper XR Magnum?

Has anyone ever rebarreled a Sniper XR Magnum into a different caliber? Was thinking along the lines of a .177cal slug barrel.

The Ghost is the only BRK model that offers caliber changes…

Maybe he can retrofit a .177 barrel kit from the Ghost…? Hopefully he can lasso that Unicorn caliber change for his Magnum .22 looking forward to the results of this.

I have a .25cal Ghost, but have an urge to shoot .177cal slugs for some reason. I don't want to mess with the .25cal so I was looking at trying something else and saw the Sniper XR on sale. Hence the question. I'll likely end up with another Ghost down the road.

See if you can come up with something

If you can be patient, lol I have a crazy hunch that once the slug barrels are out and running Brk/Daystate will run slug editions of the guns (probably next year be my guess). Then you can get it all in one go and not spend tons on extra barrels! BTW Does your .25 shoot slugs at all or is it strictly on a pellet diet?

I've only tried pellets in it so far. One guy made a post on another forum where he said the 33gr (if I remember right) shot very well out of his.

These things need to be tested! The 33gr Jsb Heavy pellets you mean? I have no regrets with my Ghost so far, biiiig chunk of change but I'll get er slinging .22 slugs yet! My S510 gets all the action and waaaay more overall kills but the Ghost has more long range (past 50Y) kills and I've only owed it since March.

It was the 33gr NSA, or possibly 31gr NSA slugs that the guy mentioned. I'll try some when I get my hands on them sometime next year. Getting too cold out now to shoot.
