[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1879252, member: 10178"] Tighten up that front bolt and I believe you will see a big difference in accuracy. I have one Ruger 77 tang safety rifle. I got it from an estate sale of a strange accuracy nut. He had a number of custom rifles mostly in wildcat calibers that were on actions that conventional thinking would tell you were not the ones to be building super accurate rifles on. Ruger 77, Ruger #1, Remington 788, He did have a couple bench rest rifles in 6PPC on sleeved Rem. 700 and one on a special action like a BAT of something. The Ruger 77 I got started out as a 26" varmint 220 Swift. Fellow had the barrel re-bored to a 1 n 12" twist 30 cal. cut to 24" and chambered in 30x47 using the 300 Savage case with the shoulder pushed back about 10 thousands inch but left the original over all length. He also had a special throat put into it for best accuracy with CAST bullets. He was setting this rifle up to shoot hunter class bench rest and use CAST BULLETS. Told you he was a "strange" fellow. Rifle is set in the original wood stock free floated and glassed in. It has a Canjar trigger. This fellow documented everything about the rifles and every round fired through them. This rifle is a once in a life time rifle. It seems to shoot ANYTHING you put into it better than it is possible for you to hold. I am talking sub 1/2 MOA with the WORST loads. Some friends that bought the other rifles have found the same results. I have never taken this rifle out of the stock and I NEVER WILL. So yes you can make a Ruger 77 shoot. I hope you get yours worked out. [/QUOTE]
