Looks like im moving back up to Anchorage next summer. To celebrate I thought i'd do something with a 270win I have laying around. Its a Lefty Ruger M77 Hawkeye. I used it on one Mulie and then bought a Tikka cuz it seemed a little hefty for a 270. Shoots fine though.
Its got a 22 inch barrel that is .570" at the muzzle. I'm thinking i'd like another 9.3x62 since I sold mine in a fire sale last time I left Anchorage. I called JES and he said it would work but marginally so. He said he likes .200 total wall thickness after rebore which I calculate out to be .570 minus .366 = .204"
I could cut it back to 20 inches and be at .590 (ish) but by then im about $500 into it.
Anyone else ever rebore an M77 to 9.3?
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
