Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles stock for ruger m77 mark 2

Hi guys, I have a 338 win mag stainless ruger m77 mark 2. I want to change out the black syn stock to a laminate. I'm looking for one that comes pillar or full length aluminum block bedded already. I'm trying to keep the price down a little so Accurate ino is out of the question. You guys no anywhere I can get one? Thanks.

Hogue with the full length bedding block . Have one on my Hawkeye - great unit.

As long as you are ok w/ fat, HEAVY & sticky....

He wants to change from the syn to a laminate.

Pillars and bedding are very doable by oneself. Find the stock you like and go forth.

Personally, I would go with a Mcmillan.

That they are - but impervious to whetever you can throw at them.

Personally if mcmillan made an EDGE for the Ruger I would have gone down that road.............

But the hogue is great for a a gun that is used out of the truck mostly...

Just keep an eye out for a Ruger Factory laminated stock. Not pillar bedded or having a bedding block but a decent stock. Bedding your action to the stock would prolly give as good or better results as pillars.

Do you guys think a boyds laminate would hold up? I had one on a 300 wby but only had the gun for a year. Would the boyds need to be bedded? Its tempting to just spend the money and go with an AI stock and be done with it. Thanks.

I own a batch of Rugers... I own factory laminate stocks, Hogue Rubber Stocks for them, and also Boyd's Stocks...

Each season, I have a couple of Rugers set up with the Hogue Stocks for when we really have to deal with hunting in the rain...then the Sticky Rubber stocks really shine for grip...

I also have one set up with a Boyd's laminate... I carry that one when the weather is dry. they hold up in the rain, but I prefer the sticky-ness of the Hogue... but the Boyd's will hold up just as well in the rain...

I can get into some thick brush with either and they perform well.. of course the Hogue is impervious to anything you throw at it... the Boyd's have gotten scratched up bad during several seasons... not because of a poor finish, just because I was in that rough of brush etc..

but post season, I sanded down the problem areas, stripped the stock and re applied a sealer and they were good as new...

I bought them to use, so getting them banged up is my fault, and I don't mind cleaning them up post season if that is what they need...but they hold up to a lot of abuse... and keep on chuggin'...

the Hogues, well they are rubber coated and act accordingly..

I wouldn't be without either... and yes the stocks get switched around all the time..

my Rugers also get their barrels switched to after market barrels at times...depending upon mood and season..

just took a 243 barrel off of one, and put a 204 barrel on it to go call varmints with...just borrowed the bolt out of my Ruger VT in 223 for those times...

AH, they arn't that bad. But I think the OP was asking for a laminated stock that is pillar bedded. I'd just use a factory ruger laminated stock and have pillars installed if it were me....

I had to fix a Boyds lamintated stock that was severely cracked through the recoil lug area. Bedded the recoil lug area and down the barrel channel, no problems with it since....What ever you do, bed it right after you get it and make sure the barrel channel is sealed up good....

I've got a short action full bedding block Hogue sitting in my closet - I think they are! Made my rifle carry and handle like a pig. I do not like it at all.
