Future Ruger biuld

I have a Ruger M77 in 22-250 that is shot out so I'm thinking about build a plinking gun or ranch gun out of it. Probably .243 or 6 creedmoor. I'm gonna start looking for a barrel but I'm not sure of the barrel shank size on the Rugers. Can someone help me out? I think the only measurement I need to know it the shank size and then I'll know what blank to buy. Thanks

Mine was a 1x16 tpi

16 threads per inch but what was diameter of the barrel protruding the action. Some blanks come in 1.000and some in 1.200 shank diameter and I need to know which one I need.

A friend of mine has my Ruger right now I'll stop and pick it up tonight and give you a measurement

I measured mine the other day and I think it's 1.160 right at the receiver face. The only barrel blanks I can find to order are 1.200? Will the 1.200 work?

Indeed it will. I did mine with a 1.220 Shank. The thing is you can turn a 1.5 shank down to what ever size you want. What length barrel are you looking to use?

I want something at 22" and I think around .650 muzzle diameter.

30-06 Springfield. The good old Cartridge, Ball, Caliber .30, Model of 1906. I used a 28" MP Standard Palma CM barrel from Shilen.
