[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1212512, member: 13833"] Yes, it can be made to work, and work well. I built one a few years back and chambered it in 300 Ultra. Here is what you do. It is important to bed the tang on the Ruger as that is what it recoils against. You can either glass it around the tang area, or better yet, drill out the screw area and put in an aluminum pillar just like you would in a bolt action. After you do that, use a long extension on your ratchet and tighten it until it squeaks!!:D Take some measurements and see what taper you need to fit in the fore end and have Bartlein cut a custom taper. Another option is to order a std. taper and cut the fore end out to match. I think I used a 30" #7 on mine. I killed a few elk with it at 1000 yards and it shot very accurately. It makes a nice compact package because you save almost 4" of length over a bolt action with the same length barrel. Good luck ....Rich [/QUOTE]
