If not so currently, make sure you have that rifle very well bedded and relieved in the tang area. 77's are stock breaking machines.
Were I going to have built or rebore an existing Ruger, I would put it in one of the Bell & Carlson Ruger stocks with the full length aluminum bedding frame. I think a stainless Ruger Mark II or Hawkeye in 458 Winchester with a 20-22” barrel would be a very handy rifle.
The Ruger Alaskan in 416 Ruger, somewhat suppressed this idea for me. But, that set-up would still make a heck of rifle in my opinion, at a reasonable price. Add the sights on your choice.
