[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1511016, member: 69192"] Thanks for the response back. This is really tough to get started in when you are new to shooting and don't know what will work and what doesn't. I have been shooting so long that I used to look forward to when [U][I]dinosaur season[/I][/U] opened every year!! And right now I am having some anxiety about building a rifle for myself. I was very fortunate in that at an early age I had a member of the Army rifle team take me under his wing and show me how to shoot and how to rework my rifles to make "them" shoot. I've pretty much set my mind on the .270 Sherman (.270 nostalgia), and contacted a smith to do the work, only to be told that he wouldn't do the work on my Ruger 77 action because it was an investment casting and the hardening was only case hardening. He stated that he feared that taking material off of the receiver to true it up would remove the case hardening and make the action unsafe!! Not what I wanted to hear at all!! So now back to square one!! I have a gun safe full of tang safety Rugers, (two of them are in .270 donors) and all shoot really well. I just want something that is different, thus the .270 Sherman. I'm planning on contacting Ruger tomorrow to get their spin on this? [/QUOTE]
