Who makes a good light weight stock for a ruger m77 alaskan/guide. Looking to buy a 375 ruger but really don’t care for the laminate or the Hogue stock options. I think HS still makes one but I’ve had it and didn’t care for it. Mcmillan makes them, not sure in what patterns. Is there some company I’m forgetting? Let me know if you have ideas or pictures. Thanks.

McMillan makes both classics and hunters for the alaskan/african/guide. There not lightweights, I have one of the classics on a 375 stainless African and the stock is just a good balance between carrying weight and recoil.

Classic is modeled after the Ruger synthetic stock? No cheek piece, correct?

McMillan Classic MKII, that’s what I have on my Ruger Alaskan .375Ruger. Pretty sure it has a cheek piece, I’ll have to double check when I’m home.

Tang is, the rest isn't

Classic and Hunter both w/ CheekPiece

What endears you to the platform and what's your perceived application?

Hint................

Bristol bay brown bears. Used my 300 win mag last year but wouldn't mind carrying a little more gun. Started as a meat packer for a guide and this year I should be able to get enough time in to get my assist guide license.
Want something control round feed which really narrows it down. For factory options there’s pretty much this or the kimber talkeenta. Winchester makes the Alaskan m70 but it’s glossy blued and walnut, doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

Yep, confirmed. Cheek piece on the Classic MKII.

That Talkeetna looks like a great AK rifle!

Dude...fhuqk polishing turds,go Talkeetna and NEVER look back. Buck the bitch at 20",stuff 250X's in the mag,poke GOOD mounts/rings/glass on it and simply lead by example.

CRF is a fallacy,in that you gotta PROVE every platform. I've had lotsa CRF's and due their mechanical complications,they tend to be the most needy. Don't take the bait,that if you cut a check,you are there. Hint.

Hint..................

Too bad McMillan doesn't offer a copy of the standard Hawkeye stock.

Like being mad at McDonald's,for not "offering" a Schit Sandwhich. Congratulations?!?

Park your STUPID and look at Reality.

Hint.............

I just might look more seriously into the talkeenta. After a Mcmillan and a ruger it’ll be pretty close to the talkeenta price anyhow.

Ruger's are pieces of fhuqking schit in any/all comparisons.

Walk away,regroup and conect all dots.

Hint..............

Big Sheila is right Im afraid.

P.s. you suck a mean azz too.

She’s been sniffing her pillow all day, trying to figure if the guy banging his X wiped his dick off on it. It’s actually funny as he knows it’s true.

Dakotakid,
I too have owned a Ruger Alaskan. The hogue stock was a clumsy abomination. The new guide gun, that stock is also a disgusting abomination.

I've also had problems with the quality of Hornady brass and bullets.

I ended keeping my CZ 9.3x62 Mauser and sold the 375 Ruger. It was lighter, equally effective, and was equipped with a good Bell and Carlson stock.

I do like the Ruger 77 and the CZ 550's the most. With the dovetail receivers and nice open sights, they are serious rifles made better with Alaska arms LLC quick detachable rings.

For your requirements, lighter is better. Don't forget, the 9.3x62 was the original Mauser dangerous game rifle. The 375 h&h though more popular, was a heavier, clumsier British rip-off put together for wealthy people.

MANY alaskans and yukoners have made the switch from the 375 magnum to the ole 9.3. Up goes the round count, down goes the weight.

The CZ 550 standard is no longer offered. Ruger has offered a limited run of a 7.3 lb Ruger African in 9.3x62. It's a desirable stock that is easier to sell, should you be allergic to good walnut, to fund a good sythetic stock. If I were you, that'd be my top choice, as a new guide building your career.

I've had no problem with 400 yd and 500 yd shots with the ole 9.3 using 300 grain A-frame/lapua brass handloads. Other more experienced hunters on here like yukoner Ted and Vernak haven't had problems with the long shot either.

I have easily modified the overly chunky Ruger magazine follower to make the rifle a 5-down gun:

Buy whatever you want, just don't listen to the Toilet Bowl Oracle about Rugers.

He's too short to pee in the big boy potty anyways without standing on a stool.

Ruger and MPI ultralight stock.

Kimber has serious quality control issues, hence the term Kimber lottery.

Thanks for a serious reply. For some reason my threads attract bigshict and they always get out of hand.

Way to go!

Cabelas Billings has a Ruger African 9.3x62

For a working rifle the Ruger trigger is far and away better than the Kimber’s box assembly. Worst case, you could dump the laminate for an OEM Hawkeye long action plastic fantastic until you figure out a McMillan option.

If you handload, I’d agree with Mainer and go 9.3x62. Any .27/‘06 is just a 9.3 waiting to happen. I used an H&H hard for over a decade but now that rifle has pretty much been replaced by the 9.3, which weighs nearly 3 pounds less and holds more rounds.

Ended up finding a Ruger Hawkeye African with a Mcmillan hunter stock. So I should be set, maybe cerakote it sometime down the road.
