The title pretty much says it all. I am going to be ordering a McMillan Rimfire Magnum Varmint Stock for my Custom Ruger 77/22 in the not to distant future. Just wondering if anyone is using this stock on a Ruger 77/22? and any thoughts or concerns?

Thanks

Larry

I'm using one on a CZ452 Varmint. It's a comfy stock, but it is rather beefy for a rimfire stock. The only concern is that you're ok with the thick forend if you have a light barrel.

Thanks for the reply. My 77/22 has a Clark Custom Guns 20" Stainless Bull Barrel on it.

With the bull barrel it should be a good fit. If you'd like I'll try to get a pick up sometime next week....maybe late Sunday....

No problem. I'll try to take pics from several different angles. If there is anything in particular you want pics of please let me know and I'll make sure to take them.

Larry,

I apologize for being slow to get some pics taken....I wanted some in daylight but I've just been to busy. Hopefully these will work. If there is a different perspective you want to see just let me know.

PERFECT

Thank you very much. Now after seeing these photos the wait is going to seem really long. Let's see I only have about 11 weeks to go until I can post some photos of mine.

Thanks again

My McMillan Rimfire Magnum Varmint Stock arrived today for my Custom Ruger 77/22.

I originally Customized this Rifle back in 2009. I used a Volquartsen Laminated Stock with a Clark Custom Guns 20" Stainless Steel Bull Barrel. I reworked the factory trigger till it breaks like a glass rod at 1 1/4 lbs and had a hole drilled for an overtravel adjustment screw. Ruger 77/22 VBZ Bottom Metal was polished so it matched the Barrel and Action.

I never did care for the feel of the Volquartsen Laminated Stock so I sold it and decided to replace it with a McMillan Rimfire Magnum Varmint Stock, which I ordered 50% Black, 25% Light Grey & 25% White Marble. While I was waiting for the stock to arrive I sent the Bolt to CPC for Randy's Beyond Bolt Tightening. At the same time I took advantage of Natchez Shooters Supply's sale and purchased a new Weaver V-24 6x24x42mm AO Riflescope to sit on top.

Above is the finished product. No I have not shot it yet since I had the bolt work done, installed the new scope or put it in the new stock, but I hope to before the weekend is over.

I am not disappointed in the stock. The size and shape of this stock is perfect for what I wanted.

Yeah but was it worth the wait ? I think I already know the answer to that question.

Not only was the wait short, but the price was right too...I'm done rubbing it in.....I think.
I've had my share of waiting too...definitely worth the wait smile
I like your color combo Larry...I've a couple swirlies that look very similar...one on a Rem 700 in 375 H&H and one on a Ruger 350 RM.
