Thanks, sactoller. Karnis has a Ruger MKII Ultralight of mine in 257 Roberts that may get a new barrel and stock maybe. One of the first Rugers I've had that won't shoot worth a flip (think 2-4 inches). I really like the ultralights feel and handling. Here is my .275 Rigby, that started life as a .30-06 UL, shoots great and is a pleasure to carry. Douglas #1 at 23". Carlos added a few touches to the stock....

Sactoller, that is one beautiful rifle. The only problem that I would have with it, is that while I was sitting on my stand, I would be galking at that rifle so much, that a big buck would slip right by me!

By all indications with the tissue and lung damage it expanded quite nicely and didn't just poke on through. I feel it did a great job and have been very impressed with the E-Tip in my son's rifle. I shoot the 100 gr. Partition in mine, but I might have to try the 90 gr. E-Tip and see if it shoots for me in my rifle. Impressing results, thanks for posting.

Here is one that is chambered in a 9.5X64 wildcat. It has a steel triggerguard and floorplate as well as a three position safety. The ivory insert was an after thought but I don't think it looks to bad. It is destined to become a 375 Ruger someday.

You'd expect from me to come on and bitch about ruger again.
I won't. They are a good solid rifle for what they are. I've worked on a number of them and they shoot amazing well until needing bedding, and then all you do is bed the gun. I hate bedding 77s with that angled bedding screw but thats life.
All that being said Ruger themselves tried to make great guns out of the 77s, built 12 maybe, palma rifles to give to the palma team even extended the action length a bit to beef it up. IIRC after doing all the work and putting custom barrels on them, in the end, 2 were more or less good enough for palma.
You could build probably 12 palma guns off 700 actions and I'd suspect that 2 out of them would be bad enough not to be accepted... complete flilp flop.
In fairness I have no clue if their smith folks were even capable of making the palma run shoot or not.
Of course there is the BIll Ruger thing with me so I'll never find out personally.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
