I hadnt planned on it and have no optics for it so it's just collecting dust right now. and 6mm is way outside my wheelhouse so I've been thinking about converting it to 6.5 or 308 if possible. I emailed Ruger customer service but couldnt get a clear answer. it SEEMS like i can do just a barrel swap, but it's not something i want to learn the hard way.
Replacement bbl runs approximately $5-600ish not counting tools (which you can rent on line) or smith charges to do the work. If you're in to it for little or no $$ why not replace it with a better barrel. If you go to some RPR forums, there's a good chance you'll be able to sell or swap the 6mm barrel
