[QUOTE="2Old2Care, post: 2735650, member: 121800"] I have a Defiance and a Weatherby, but have four Rugers, mainly because I've had them for a hundred years and when you clamp those scope rings on that action, it stays where you put it. I bought a Schnieder SS 6.5 barrel and had Weaver Rifles in Peyton, CO do the chambering for a 6.5 Weatherby RPM. It hovers around .5 MOA, with me pulling the trigger, but I'm old, so it could likely do better. Contrary to what the experts say, those old 77's really can shoot, but only one of mine is the Mk II and it has the original 20" barrel. Good enough, but not a long-range gun. I waited 11.5 months for a Benchmark barrel and it shoots really good, but lately I've bought a couple of Preferred Barrel blanks off Ebay from the two guys in Utah. So far, so good and I received them in less than two weeks instead of months. Kevin Weaver will likely ask you to buy a barrel, then ship everything to him together. They bought a CNC machine about a year ago and are turning out fantastic work. Regardless who you use, I think you are doing just fine with upgrading an old Ruger, especially if its one you have some history with. [/QUOTE]
