Want To Buy Info on a Ruger M77 replacement stock

[Ricky C]

Hey, I'm trying to help a friend find a replacement stock for his Ruger 77. A standard hunting type stock is what he's looking for. Any stock manufacturers you can point me to would be great
Thanks and Take Care

I had the same problem years ago and ended up going with Wayne York in Pendleton, OR making a custom for me.

I'm assuming he wants synthetic if it's in Ak ?

 

[Ricky C]

Hey AKdad, yes, his current wood stock weighs 4lbs. He's trying to lighten the rifle and have the stability of synthetic.

The custom I had built was synthetic.

Tanger or MkII?

This is a tanger McMillan did for me. They used to offer this back before Beck took over. May be worth a call. Otherwise Bell and Carson may make one.

Hogue also makes their overmold stock with pillars and a full bedding block. The forend leaves alot to be desired though, it is not very rigid. Depending on his use though, it is functional. I would take either of the other two though. As stated, a call to McMillan could also be worth while.

As a side note, ruger recommends tightening the front action screw to a ridiculous 95 (yes, 95) in-lbs. If it's one of the flat head screws that came with many of them, perhaps have him order a front action screw with a allen or torx head if you want a chance at getting there. Personally I just bedded my rugers and torqued them to 65 in-lbs and they have shot great.

Hey Cody, I will tell him that
