Anybody know what it is?

Gonna start by staying off the lands by 8 thou and go in and out in 3 thou increments and see what I get. I just bought the Sinclair chamber length inserts and measured the chambers on my 77R and 77V. The R was 2.240 and the V was 2.246. This would at least partially explain why I was having...

Working up some loads for my 77R tang safety and just curious about the seating depth. Some say jamb 'em into the lands, others say back off 10 or 15 thousandths. Is it just a trial and error thing or? I like working up loads but with the scarcity of some items I want to keep the use as low as...

There was a really nice M77 tang safety in 270 for sale about a month ago, unfired and it had the best wood on a M77 I'd ever seen. I almost bought it just for the stock to put on my .280 but I didn't. Should've though. Even though, I'm still looking for one for my Swift.

Holy crap, never knew there were that many!

Thanks for the pics 5card, I'll keep this one in mind. I'd really like to find one with a lot of fancy fiddleback, I know they're out there but not real common on the M77, more so on the No.1's.

What were the different model designations that Ruger used for these rifles? Thanks!

Cant seem to get ahold of Jim, still looking for one of these.

Are these different then the Mk II's? All I've found for sale list them as Mk.II's. Thanks!

Anybody have a spare one of these they'd let go?

Thanks for the info fellas! Guess it will be wearing the furniture it came with!

Who/where is a good source for these for factory Ruger rings?

Like the title says, I'm looking for an extremely nicely figured factory walnut stock for a tang safety 77 in 220 Swift. It doesn't have to be pristine as in finish as I would like to refinish it myself. Thanks!!

Can I put a long action stock on a short action assembly and if I can will accuracy suffer?
