Yes you can re-barrel a steel frame BLR in 243 to 308. You need no other mods.  ;) The trick is finding a gunsmith to do it for you. Seems not many want to work on them.

If you were going to do that I would go with a 358win barrel.

By the time you get a barrel and then have someone fit and finish it. It'ld be cheaper to keep the 243 as is and just buy a decent used 308.

In the 1920's "sheeple" was a term coined by the National Socialist Party in Germany to describe people that would not vote for Hitler. In the 1930's they held Hitler as the only one that would bring pride back to Germany and bring the budget and economy back.....

I think Mid West Gun has new barrels for them, I was looking for a pre'81mag and noticed barrels, another option is reboring/rerifling, I sometimes wish my 308 was a 243
