A McM Ruger Hunter would and has been my choice.
I have a trio of stainless Hawkeyes in 223, 6.5CM, and 338FED set up that way. The .338 Federal is one of my favorites! The 160 TTSX makes it a Deer rifle with a thump!

Yes, the Ruger "Zytel/Boat Paddle/ Skeleton" handle..
What I dont know is if the exterior dimensions of the rifles built for the RCM cartridges differs from those built for the common .473" head size SA cartridges..
The action fit is identical; your barrel contour is slightly heavier. No big deal, just sand the factory channel out a bit more to fit.

Simply, I've a Ruger 77 Hawkeye 338 RCM with a factory original walnut stock.
I'd like to run another stock.
What are your suggestions and my options.?
I would buy that walnut stock if you dont need it.

I have some McMillans on some Rugers from 223 up through 416 Ruger. I like the Ruger Classic best, but no issue with the Hunter either. I also have a couple of H-S Precision on 375 and 416 Rugers. I like the H-S Precision on the bigger bores. Though prefer a slimmer fore end on the smaller bores.

Unfortunately neither were wood. Both were in the rubber Hogue.
