Ruger 77 Build / Technical Info
I need some info on ruger 77 actions. I love the actions features (safety, extractor), but am not much on the gun as a whole. I am interested in building a new rifle and had decided to just modify the safety and extractor of a 700 to suit my desires, but am now thinking a re-barrel, trigger, and stock for a factory 77 action.
From a building standpoint does the action have any problems? What is the lock time for a short action?
I do not see many custom Rugers and from first hand experience the factory rifles seem less accurate so I worry it will not perform.
The plan is to chamber in 358 win or the new 338 federal.
Any comments about this build or 77 action would be appreciated.
