Bill Atkinson was a great barrel maker and gunsmith and Bill Ruger's go-to guy in Prescott. He built some great barrels and I have probably the only Ruger M-77 he rebarreled to 375 H&H for Bill Ruger when they were considering building a light weight 375. They eventually decided to work with Hornaday on the 375 Ruger cartridge.
