[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2847213, member: 69192"] I have two Ruger 77 tang safety rifles that started out life at 30-06s, that were chambered to .270 Ackley Improved. Both rifles feed properly, not sticking or any feed rail issues whatsoever. The .280 Ackley Improved is a ballistically efficient and diversified cartridge. Good luck with your rebarrel. Another rechamber/rebarrel job that I did was I have done three Ruger 77 rebores from 30-06 to 35 Whelen. The reboring cost around $250 (JES Reboring) and that included shipping. I know that he cuts barrels and pretty sure that he threads them as well. If I were looking for something with a little more reach than the 35 Whelen (that we use for black bear hunting) I would consider a rebore to 338-06, or 338-06 Ackley Improved. [/QUOTE]
