[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1323138, member: 87243"] As stated in my initial post, I'm using a Ruger because I already have it, and I want to make THIS rifle into a long range Rifle. No, its not the conventional rifle action for long range, but they are still good strong actions. They may be a little more work, but they are just as capable as any other action. This was my Fathers first elk rifle, and we want to build it into something nice for long range. Eventually it will be outfitted with a McMillan stock and Krieger barrel. I have pillar bedded a couple other Rugers, and it's not any harder, it just takes more steps. All the M77's I have worked on ended up half MOA or better, so that gives me confidence in these actions, when they are properly bedded. That performance is encouraging for the WSM, that is about what they are getting with the 300 SS. and at 3.2" OAL, that would be perfect in this action. [/QUOTE]
