[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1903366, member: 69192"] I have two Ruger 77, tang safety donor rifles that I just sent out to be rebarreled; each rifle cost me around $350-400 each. One rifle is going to be chambered from 7mm RemMag to 300 WinMag with a 24 inch barrel, contoured to the existing barrel dimensions, and the other rifle will be rebarreled with a 26 inch Lilja barrel and be rechambered from 30-06 to 6.5-06, this barrel is to be contoured to the factory barrel specs also. I asked that the action be checked and blueprinted if necessary and the entire action be reblued; around $650 if the action does not need blueprinting. I do my own trigger work, Ruger 77s are quite easy to do trigger work. I had this same gunsmith build two rifles for me a couple of years ago, his work is impeccable, both rifles (.270 Ackley) will shoot sub-MOA (bug holes) consistently; better than I can shoot them. I am using the existing wood stock (because I like wood and find fiberglass stocks very expensive), I glass bed and pillar bed the stocks, and then refinish the stocks with two coats of flat-clear paint. The only rifles that I do own are Ruger 77 tang safety rifles, so......I am quite familiar with them, they fit good and they shoot. With that said I would recommend rebarreling. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
