I tried to swap a stock off a ruger Hawkeye 375 to my ruger 77 stainless mark II last night but I got a major snag. The wood stock fit the action perfict I was all excited to get a nice wood stock to replace the plastic stock on it .They just fit like a glove .Then I screwed the trigger guard and the floor plate back on they fit .Then I tried to snap the floor plate it was a no go .It wouldn't close to snap . There must be a difference in the floor plates I was not aware of .I hope I can just change the floor plate .I didn't know if anyone on here had tried to do this .i would love to have this nice walnut stock on this rifle and a good recoil pad to boot !
