[QUOTE="Wapiti1, post: 883546, member: 42416"] Guys, I am looking at rebuilding my M77 MK2 and chambering it in 7mm LRM (7mm-375). How well will this fit given the relatively short 3.4" (compared to Remington) mag well of a Ruger? I know that the parent 375 Ruger fits fine, but the bullets for that are generally loaded to the cannelure and crimped, so they always conform to the SAAMI max COAL. I am worried that the long 7mm bullets may make this too much of a compromise. The donor rifle is a .300 win mag that I just no longer use. I will do the machining work on the action and barrel myself. I am just not sure how the combination will work with this cartridge since the only 7mm LRM's that I have seen were on Remington or Remington clone actions with 3.6"+ long magazines. What do you think? Go with a shorter cartridge, or do it and see? Jeremy [/QUOTE]
