The Ruger Ranch is a good alternative for the Gunsite with its' internal magazine. Same barrel length and 1:8 twist, threaded, all good. Not a CRF but half the price.

As for the question of changing the Gunsite to an internal magazine, no. The stock would just about let you but the opening is larger and your internal mag would be a loose fit. The real disqualifier is the action, it's opened up for the dm bottom. The internal mag doesn't fit it at all.

I'll learn to love the dm, or at least tolerate it.
