Re: ruger M77
Bought a well used, but still in decent condition 270 Win Ruger 77 Tang Safety featherweight rifle for $210. With an $80 dollar A&B F54 contour 7mm barrel blank, a $40-50 Rifle Basix trigger sear, a Boyd's $30 clearance unifit stock had Ruger redone. Barrel blank was chambered to 7x57 mauser and installed by a retired machinist who's worked on rifles as a hobby/sideline for over 40 years. Gent charged me about $50 for his work.
Jeeez, wish my other 20 or so scoped rifles shot as accurate as my Ruger.
