Or you can do what I did. Buy T/C encore frame order custom 350 barrel. I got mine from MGM. Very accurate and handy. With the encore I have a 26" heavy factory contour and it's not much longer than my model 7.

If you want some factory stuff to start Midway has the nosler custom 225 partition ammo in stock. Pretty good.
Good choice on the rifle too. My 700 classic is a very nice rifle. That's what I've been using in my 673. At least once a year it goes on sale which makes it a little more palettable. With it the rifle shoots into .50 - .75 pretty consistently and I'm only trying to sight it in to go hunting. The darn thing has ended up being one of the most accurate rifles I own.

A 350 Rem Mag is a very simple rebarrel and you need nothing other than a 243 or 308 on an Ruger 77 to make it happen. I did the 375-350 Rem Mag (via PacNor) on a 243 M77. They opened the bolt face and screwed a .375 barrel on it. It feeds great and shoots MOA. The barrel could have been one contour lighter, but it handles well and isn't bad to shoot either.

You must get some smokin' velocities from that 26" barrel and being able to load long...have you chronographed anything? Bob

With ramshot tac and the 200 gr barnes tsx I clocked it in the low 2900's the accuracy just wasn't there. This barrel likes to be in the 2650 range with 225's and 2750 with the 200's. Reloader 17 has worked best. While I have loaded long with longer bullets like the accubond the rifle just likes the shorter bullets seated around 3.0".
Love those doglegs!

Kenster,
Love those 660's. I just found a pretty mint .308. To me a 20 inch barrel is about right for a .350.

That .350 WSM looks like the business.

I had the Remington Custom Shop Mannlicher in 350 Rem Mag. Great little rifle...you can find them lightly used in the $1,250-$1,400 range. Still have mine. It is definitely a keeper. Found it several years ago on gunbroker. Just have to be diligent and keep looking every few days. They pop up every now and then. Keep an eye out for ammo as well. It seems to be scarce. ![[Linked Image]](http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s33/orangeokie/Guns/M7MS350.jpg)

I have a Montana Rifle Co. bolt gun with a 22" barrel that I load so that the base of the bullet is at the base of the neck. With Winchester 748 and the 200 grain AccuBond was getting in the 2900s and 2750 from the 250 Speer I believe...both ran about moa... I have some 275 Swift A-Frame but have not tried them yet... Really with a .35 all you need is a 220/225 at 2600 to get anything that needs to be on the ground there... Bob

If anybody knows of a SS Ruger boat paddle rifle in .350 for sale, shoot me a PM... ...as far as I know Ruger never made any....or did I miss something. The original Flat Bolt guns were all blue/walnut... The later 77/MKII were in blue/walnut and stainless/synthetic but long after the BP stock was discontinued. A stainless 77/MKII will however drop right into a BP stock. So if you can find a rifle and a stock you can do some swapping... Bob

I have seen one at a gun how when I was broke, and almost had a deal to trade my 08 boat paddle for one here a few years back. I cannot be sure they were not swapped stocks though, so...
finding a short action stock with magnum bbl channel is the problem with making my own. there was a SS MKII barreled action for sale here a week or so ago, but without the stock, I'd really have little need, since I have a few .350s already.

Borden811,
Good luck on your .350. They are great rifles, I have a model 7KS and it is probably my favorite. What one of the other posts said about Midway putting the 225 partition loads on sale once a year is correct, a bit pricey but can handle about anything you may want to kill with it.

toad....unless it is a Lite Rifle stock I think any SA stock will fit. I bought one from firearms44 and it will fit the .350 or the .308 or .358 Frontier.. I have it on the .308...

hmm. I did not know that. I thought the SA boat paddles had magnum and sporter barrel profiles.
thanks, good to know.

So far I've rounded up 200 200gr hornady ftx, 200 225gr partitions, and 100 220gr speers, 100pcs new brass, and a lb of RL-15 for less that what it would cost me to buy 2 boxes of the factory nosler ammo. I just need the gun to get here so I can load up some rounds n hit the range!
