[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1647814, member: 26227"] I had the same question for my 72 year old father. his favorite gun was his Ruger 77 in 30-06. I found this gun did not fit him what-so-ever and sought out another 30-06 for him then customized the stock, sent it out for a muzzle brake, put on a squishy butt pad, and then brewed up 125 grain, 150 grain, and 165 grain game loads that made the rifle nearly recoil like a 22-250. once that was all done he shot it and asked what caliber it was. after a few minutes of assuring him it was a 30 caliber and it was a long action Remington 700.. he rolled the bolt and out popped the case.. he hunted with that for 10 years until he could no longer walk long distances to hunt. the rifle was sold off after dad died in 2008. His Ruger 77 was stolen before he died. Later Suckers.. the shop is getting busy.. [/QUOTE]
