[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2737911, member: 115658"] Nothing wrong with M77 MKII's for almost all use. A strong, well-designed action, investment cast (Pine Tree - lost wax process) with tolerances of +- .007 inches then machined. My suggestion would be to go to McGowen for the re-barrel, have them true up the receiver face & lap bolt lugs ($85). Negligble gains with complete blueprint. An alternative stock would be Richards Micro Fit & select what you like. Some simple wood tools like a 1/4-1/2 chisel, 1/2 gouge, wood rasp, cabinet maker file, orbital sander w 120 grit, 150-320 grit sandpaper, Min Wax Poly Rub, & JB Steel Epoxy will save you $100's. The trigger may be improved by replacement with a Timney ($125) or some pro trigger job - don't attempt this until you get everything figured out. I use 20 MOA WEIG-A-TINNY rails on my M77 MK II's for long range with Burris Sig Zee rings. No problems but require high cheek pieces. Be sure to follow Weigand directions - nice guy. No caliber mentioned. I have .375-.338 down to .20P. Most short actions, including .22-.250, 6mm & 6.5 CM, .243., .204, .20P. Long actions 6mm AI, 6.5-06, and .375-.338. [ATTACH]436272[/ATTACH] Ruger M77 MKII, Wiegand 20 MOA WEIG-A-TINNY rail, budget 3-16X42 Sightron scope, McGowen 6.5 CM #5, 5R barrel, 8 twist. [/QUOTE]
