[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1542877, member: 69192"] Yes me too, Olson Gunsmithing out of Plains. Mt.. I got the referral from one of the threads here. I was having trouble finding a smith who would work on and who was willing to do work on Ruger 77s. Someone gave me his info and suggested that I call him. I researched his name and found nothing but good stuff about him. One of the reviews said that he was not one to talk on the phone. I found that to be just the opposite. When I called his wife answered, and I asked his wife if there was a good time to call. I called at the time she suggested and we talked for a considerable amount of time. We even talked about some of the rifles he'd built for himself for hunting. During that time we talked about the things he would do to make the Ruger shoot well and I was happy to ship the rifle to him. Believe me I spoke to a number of popular barrel makers, smiths before I found someone who was actually encouraging about making the build with the Ruger 77. I am actually building two Ruger 77s, one for me and one for my son because I had two .270 Winchesters that are going to make great donors. I understand what you are saying about suggestions for other choices for calibers; that's what encouraged me to change from the .270AI to the .280 AI 40`. I am going to hunt deer with this rifle out to 500-600 yards, or maybe a mule deer/antelope hunt with an outfitter who is willing to take an old guy who doesn't walk to well!? I don't intend to shoot bullets that would be considered heavy, high BC bullets so 1 in 8 twist. And....I want to be able to go to the range and shoot the rifle without having my arm in a sling the next day. [/QUOTE]
