[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1669025, member: 87243"] I have had a couple m77's rebarreled, there is a smith here I use that knows his way around Rugers quite well. You have two options- Select a cartridge that will work with what you have (3.43" OAL) Have a Rem 700 (3.7" OAL) or Wyatts extended (3.850") mag box installed and select whichever long action cartridge you want. My smith has installed rem 700 mag boxes which allow 3.7" OAL into ruger actions, he has also installed a few Wyatts extended mag boxes as well, which would pair nicely with a 300 win mag. I had one 300 win mag built into a .264 wm, 1-7.5 twist for the heavies, and feeds flawlessly. I think the .264 wm is a fantastic choice with 140+ class. The 147's are going 3240 with retumbo, anxious to see what we will get with the 156's. A 300 wm wouldn't be a bad option with either a rem 700 box or an extended wyatts box, get a 9 or 10 twist and shoot the 215's at 3000 fps or so with H1000, excellent long range critter medicine. If your interested, my Smith's name is Mike, his business is Tetrahedron Arms Company and he is out of Rock Springs, Wyoming. His number is 1-307-922-1159. He does fantastic work, and at a great price. He has a facebook page you can check out as well, just search his business name and it will come up. Best of luck to ya. [/QUOTE]
