[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 1668219, member: 87887"] I don't post much here, but I gain a lot of insight and members have helped me greatly in the past when I've been stuck. So here I am again. My first rifle was an early 80's Ruger 77 in 7RM. Barrel is toast. I'm looking for suggestions as to cartridge selection. The short mag box on this rifle is very limiting. Do they make an extended box for these like the Wyatts to make it more user friendly, or should I go to some form of short mag. I'd like to keep it "cosmetically" close to factory simply for sentimental reasons (i.e. I'd like to keep the factory stock if possible). I already have a new 7 RM, so possibly a 30 cal? Its been a good carry gun and has served me well for some 38ish years. Mostly hunt white tails and long shots for me are 3-500 yds. I reload so not tied to factory ammo. Any suggestions on cartridge and/or a gunsmith to help? Or do I relegate it to the safe which seems a waste? Any suggestions are appreciated. [/QUOTE]
