Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ruger 77 tang safety - replacement stock

Who makes an aftermarket stock for the tang safety Model 77's? Thanks for any help.

Bansner and McMillian did. Not sure if Bansner is again yet.

McMillan will but you have to call. Not on website.

I have been using a McMillan stock on my tang safety M77 for several years and love it!! At one time Bell & Carlson made a stock for the tang safety M77 but I don't know they still do.

Add to these MPI and Brown Precision. Brown has gotten pretty spendy but the pounde'r that I have is great.

Boyd's makes laminated stocks for them. I have one. They're pretty good quality without breaking the bank. I also have a McMillan on order that should be here...soon...

I have a Boyd’s green laminate on my 30-06 tanger. Did have to place a piece of paint stirrer for a shim on the bolt side to keep the trigger pin from backing out. Other than that in was a drop in with real good fit. Ordered with a 1 inch pad and it made all the difference in the world as far as felt recoil.

I put a Boyd's on one about 2 years ago. Had to do a small bit of filing on the channel the bolt handle turns down into but other than that, it was a drop in fit. The Boyds was a replacement for a synthetic that was purchased after the original stock broke when dropped sometime in the early 80's. The synthetic was from Lee (?) or Lee Six (?) or something like that.

I wasn't even close on that name. I found the stock, it's a Ram Line.

Bell and Carlson used to - I've had one on mine for years.

Six Enterprises stocks were some good ones. Ram Line, just OK.

Wildcat stocks in Edmonton, Alberta makes one which is a pretty decent stock. GD

I don't think Ram Line is an option anymore. I swapped out several over the years and have a couple of the wood original takeoffs laying around. Probably Magnum barrel channels.

My 2 Tangers are still in the original wood stocks, somewhat modified...

But I presume you are looking for synthetic?

The Ram Line stock I have was put on the rifle sometime back in the mid 80's. I had sold the rifle to a relative, he dropped it and the original wood stock broke. He put the Ram Line on it. I eventually bought the rifle back and didn't like the Ram Line so I bought a Boyds for it.

I don't think a new Ram Line is an option either but there's probably some used ones out there. That's why I mentioned it.

Asked Banser and they said hopefully next year.
