[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 642754, member: 5302"] Those Ruger receivers had a vertical front stock screw instead of the normal angled one. A loading platform was put in the magazine cutout. And that 77 receiver's not very stiff; it's one of the flimsiest of all USA receivers I've measured. Measuring receivers for stiffness.....folks who do it right will see the Winchester 70 long action is near 3 times stiffer than the long action Remington. As the Winnie's heavier by several ounces, that should not be a surprise to folks. And it was in wood stocks that top shooters learned that the Remmies twisted out of good contact in their eposy in a few hundred rounds. The Winnies would hold bedding for two or three barrels. And charging a magazine with a 5-round clip was virtually fool proof with Winchester box magazine designs; the Remington ones were close to cantankerous. It took a few years but folks learned that using a Sako style extractor fit to the front of a Remington bolt solved their breaking factory extractor problem [/QUOTE]
