Can BOSS be added to a BAR, with out BOSS ?

No, at least that's what Browning told me when the BOSS first came out as I wanted to install in on my Stainless Stalker. Obviously, you could have a competent gunsmith thread the barrel to be able to install a BOSS system but what you won't have is the engraved hash markings on top of the barrel which is needed to fine tune it to your load.
It appears as though Browning is phasing the BOSS out (along with the A-Bolt being all but gone) so if you're wanting to get one new, your only option is the BAR Mark II Safari but it's only being offered in four calibers with this. I picked up a new 7mm Mag Safari with the BOSS just a couple of months ago as this caliber is completely being discontinued (this should be the last year) in this rifle and it's a rifle/caliber combination I've always wanted. Here's a link to the guns Browning no longer offers or the discontinued caliber offerings of certain models.
