I've had my old 30-06 ruger for 14 years. Shot the barrel out. So I had it redone with a bartlein barrel and had the trigger done. 280 Ackley. Have not decided on new glass yet.
I'm in the same boat.. just had my old m77 re barreled with a 280AI. I hate ruger pinch rings. I had a weig-a-tinny ceracote to match rifle with out seeing it and its super tall. Not sure I like it.
