[QUOTE="hidesert, post: 1239957, member: 97550"] My Ruger M77 tang safety .284 Win is strictly a hunting rifle and in 46 years of ownership it only has perhaps 500 rounds through it. After bedding the action and freefloating the barrel and spending a lot of time and money working up loads I finally realized that it is not going to be a one MOA rifle. It has taken several deer up to 150 yards but I'd like to be able to confidently shoot to at least 500 and ultimately up to 700. I'm thinking of having it rebarreled by Pac-Nor this winter. The original 22" barrel looks similar to what they call a lightweight sportster. With this and scope the rifle weighs 8 pounds. If I go with a #3 contour sportster it looks like I'd gain a pound. That would be acceptable but I would not care to go heavier. Do you think this would give me the potential of .75 MOA or less? [/QUOTE]
