[QUOTE="wilkup, post: 1005349, member: 74276"] Interesting... I hadn't thought about this option. At $850 street price, it's got my attention. I don't particularly like the stock but could upgrade to a McM Hunter if I really hated it. How's the fit and finish on it? I've heard/read the bolt on the Ruger M77 is very smooth out of the box and just gets better with use. It seems heavy for just a 20" barrel, especially when the 23'' is basically the same weight... reasons for that? Is the laminate stock just really heavy compared to the walnut? I really like the matte stainless finish, but am on the fence because of the shorter barrel. Right now I am for sure leaning hard towards a Ruger rifle which I may or may not put a custom stock on down the road, rather than putting together another build with match-grade accuracy in mind. <2'' @ 200yd is more than likely good enough to hit anything I'd plan to shoot at with this rifle and I'm sure with a little massaging/tuning between bedding and loads could tighten things up a bit if needed.
