Worth customizing a ruger

I have a left handed ruger 300 win mag. My gunsmith sighted the gun in for me a while back and said it was accurate.

I broke the stock before I ever go to use the gun.

Over time I got a McMillan stock and I really like the stock and gun.

The gun however shoots like a 2-2.5 inch group. It’s okay for hunting.

What would one do to get better accuracy. Replace the barrel ? Replace the trigger?


Thanks,

Mike

If it was mine I would bed it first and free float. If a rifle is well bedded and free floated and won't shoot then there are problems which could be barrel or scopes/mounts both.

Some will say if it does not shoot when correctly bedded and floated then the barrel needs forend tip pressure. If they won't shoot floated but do OK with tip pressure than is because the barrel is not up to the mark. If bedding is not correct then rifles can also shoot better with tip pressure.

Right, because all Ruger 77s are made with upward pressure at the fore end tip. Ruger barrels until about 1990 were Wilsons, the bottom of the barrel, so to speak. So, to get them to shoot 2.5 inch groups they need to have pressure; free floating won't work.
So, do what you are trying and then if it won't shoot, you need a new barrel.
New Ruger hammer forged barrels and uniformly good.

This is a new ruger barrel. This is the last of the left handed m77 rifles.

Bed and float and see what happens from there.

Even those stocks with aluminium bedding block need bedding. Yes. I know someone will post how there is great. A case of luck, how you test for accuracy and how many rifles have been tested etc. If the stocks were made by God then same deal as no two actions are quite the same.

Bed and float and see what happens from there.

Try this shoot it at lest 10 or 15 times do not clean it ! I had a Ruger No.1 270 Weath. Mag and it took 9 shot to foul the barrel I then got 1/2 groups.

Interesting

I have glass bedded and free floated 10 or 12 Ruger M77 or MKII's rifles.

They have all shot better then before.

If one can not get this one to shoot replace the barrel as one is replacing the stock glass bed it and free float it.

Have you tried different ammo?

If I recall correctly, you do not reload.

If you haven't tried a couple of different brands of ammo, I would go invest in couple of different brands.

Also, what is your bench set up. Front and rear rest. Factory rifles these days are for the most part exceptionally good.


Mike



What I have learned on AR, since 2001:
1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken.
2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps.
3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges.
4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down.
5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine.
6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle.
7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions.
8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA.
9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not.
10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact.
11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores.
12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence.
13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances.

short answer, is yes, they are -
there's 4 major versions
mk77v/ tang safety
round top
square bridge

mk77
semi push feed bolt face
crf

i have customized them all .. and built all of the AccRel carts on them, as well

make certain that the scope and the action are properly mounted ...

want to try a pressure point? you can usually slide a business card, perhaps folded once, about 2" into the stock, for barrel pressure, as a test

I don’t reload but I have a lot of assorted factory 300 win mag ammo.

I am going to do shoot a bunch of different ammo and see if the rifle like anything.

Mike,

You might also play with the action screw tension. Sometimes you can bind the action and it'll show up in bad groups. I've got a Model 70 and it shoots lights-out if I leave the middle screw loose, but as soon as I tighten it they grow. For the Ruger, IIRC I think you want to tighten down the middle one really tight, front also pretty tight, and rear just firm as a starting point.

As mentioned above check the action screws. You DO NOT want to tighten the
middle screw down tight. The front action screw needs to be tight.
The back action screw needs to be snug and the middle action screw just tight enough to no back out.
I think Rugsr actually calls for the fromt action screw to be 95 inch pounds.
I have seen plenty go from 2.5-3 in groups to 1in or less. That front action screw being tight will make a difference. I have never went over 75in pounds. I also change all the action screw to torque heads.

At the range.

I think the gun is just finicky on the ammo.


I picked up some sig ht spike copper 165 gt factory ammo and gun shot .80.

I am going to pick up the other 2 boxes at the local pawn shop.

Will hunt with this rifle next year.

Thanks for all the info.

May not be a relevant comparison but I have an older M77 tang safety, wood stock. I had it full length glass bedded because I was hunting wet environments. Absolute tack driver with plain/inexpensive Remington Corelokts 180 grain. Killed an elk at 400 yds DRT.

To claim that free floating is a cure all it just flat out wrong, its just one of three methods, Tight all the way, 3 point bedding, and free floating..Since one does not know which will work best its a good idea to start with tight all the way from the tang to the forend. shoot it for group at each positition, if good then stop, if not good then 3 point it with solid at the tang, recoil lug, and upward pressure on the forend and lastly free floot the barrel, leave it tight the first 3 inches and floot the rest...
By going in this order you don't create a damn mess of the bedding in that you can take wood out but you can't put it back, you can glass but done backwards you end up with a glass gap/bead in the barrel channal..

Over the years Ive seen a tendency that 3 point bedding seems to work best on fwt barrels I said tendency not set in stone, some exceptions;

big bores seem to like being tight all the way, but not all as some like to be free floated, but free floating with a big gap on both sides of the barrel channal is a dirt trap, enlet the sides/edges just enough to allow smoke to pass, the undercut to freefloat..

Ive seen more piss pore free floating than any other butcher work, done properly you can't tell its free by looking a big gap allows water and moisture, dirt and scum to gather...

Just my opinnion,to each his own however.

the 77 is a good strong action and well worth customizing..I bought a Remmer custom, in 7x57 and its a great custom rifle in nice wood, fine checkering. I intended to just sell it as I got it right...Test fired it and kept it as my favorite rifle, it must be because Ive never consider selliing and had a number of offers..I tend to sell any gun at a profit, but this one is a survivor..

I don't consider plastic stocked guns and stainless steel guns of any kind to be custom guns..Custom guns to me are wood stocked and old world rust blue with fine checkering and thats just for starters..

for what it's worth, my boat paddle MKII in .300 win has shot under an inch and a half at 200yds with bullets it likes (180gr pro hunter) many times over the last couple years. Better at 200 then 100. Partitions opened up to 3-4" at 200yds. I bought a bunch of pro hunters and just keep loading them, never tried to find something else.

I think the M77 Mrk.II is a good rifle - I own a left handed M77 Mrk.II and like it. I have seen one or two full on custom rifles on M77 Mrk. II actions. Pretty rare.

My beefs with the M77 are:

- the 2 piece TG and floor plate assembly
- the bolt handle is UGLY
- would be much better with a M70 type shroud and safety. The M77 safety is fairly good, but a poor copy of the Win M70 safety.

I like the Ruger boat paddle guns in 300 and 338 Win, but wouldn't consider them "custom" by any means, what they are is a damn fine Alaskan Bear gun IMO..Toughest stock Ive ever seen..Had a couple of them over the years, Idaho can be a good place for a SS and plastic gun late season..

I hope the ammunition change is all you needed.
I have a Mark II, 338 Winchester, which I was never happy with the factory load groups. Until I tried the old Federal Premium with the 225 TSX. This is now my favorite 338, a minor miracle in tightening the groups.

As to worth customizing/modifying a Ruger, I guess that is strictly a personal thing. Somehow the Ruger rifles have become my most used. Most of mine now have fiberglass stocks, most have had trigger swaps. And an occasional barrel swap for a different caliber or longer length. Money wise, I would never recoup what I have in them, but personal pleasure wise I already have.

The stainless Mark II’s and Hawkeye’s suit my needs very well. The “prettiness” is subjective. Sometimes they need a little tweaking to smooth out. But I have had issues with more expensive rifles also.
The factory short barrel Alaskan 375 and 416’s still amaze me as to their groups with TSX hand-loads.

I've fitted 7 or 8 Wilson barrels in the last couple of years. They have all shot extremely well.

I have no issues with Wilson's barrels.

Glass bedding the action and free floating the barrel will help if done properly. I have had five M77s glass bedded and free floated but the middle screw is the key. Back this screw off and then just snug it down.

Ruger states the front screw should be set at 90 inch/pounds but this is way to tight. I tighten the front screw to 50 inch/pounds, the back screw to 30 inch/pounds and just snug the middle screw down. All of these stocks were factory stocks and would shoot five shots into at least 3/4 inch at 100 yards.

Several years ago, I had the barrel of my Ruger M77 Hawkeye in 358 Win free floated by my gunsmith. When I took the rifle to him, I told him I was having problems with consistency in accuracy and I had tried several bullets. After working on the rifle, he said that the action bedding on the rifle looked good and just cleaned it up, and free-floated the barrel. Whatever he did, the rifle now shoots the two bullets I'm using (225 gr. Nosler Partitions and Sierra Game Kings) with much better accuracy...especially the Sierra Game Kings. If I recall, he did say to keep an eye on the action screws and make sure they remain tight.


Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty.

My left handed SS 7 Mag Ruger takes about 20 rounds through it before it goes from 2+ inch groups down to 1/2" groups.

Me neither. I have two custom Contender Wilson barrels - both shoot sub-moa, one sub-3/4 moa. Not sure where the anti-Wilson diatribe comes from....perhaps he hasn’t tried Douglas tubes yet.

Personally, I’d not spend a lot of time and money accurizing a Ruger. Been there several times, on #1s and 77s.
You may get it under 2” and in acceptable hunting accuracy for sub 250 yard shots, but getting it highly accurate, never happened for me.

Good Morning Beretta 682E,

Since you've solicited advice, I'll offer it. Never throw god money after bad. I'd sell your Ruger and buy a Sako, A stock, out-of-the-box Sako will shoot more accurately and reliably that custom made rifles costing thousands more.

I have experience with only the Sako AV rifles. My two stock Sako AV rifles will print .25 MOA. My opinion, which is shared by many Sako aficionados, is the AV action is the best rifle action ever manufactured, which, by no means, was intended to slight the Mauser 98. The Sako 85 is guaranteed 5 shot MOA using factory ammo. I know of no other similar guarantee. Springfield Armory's brand new 2020 bolt action comes with a .75 3-shot MOA. At $1700, it's a lot of rifle at a reasonable price.

This is merely my opinion: the Sako AV is the greatest factory produced rifle ever made. I've owned and sold a USA made Winchester CRF. It was a decent rifle but not close to the quality of Sako. I had a friend who owned two USA made Winchester Super Grades. Within a couple years he sold both.

Ive seen a lot of Rugers that shot pin holes, some of the older barrels before the change had some barrel problems. Rugers new barrels shoot as good as any barrel, I have two 77s and two #1s, they all shoot under and inch..Put your money up, and we'll shoot if you get down to southern Idaho..

I have a bunch of ruger 77 rifles mostly 338 win mag and 264 win mag both stainless mark II and thumb safety models . They are very picky on what bulkets they like . They love Winchester power points and lapua bullets seated deep and will shoot clover leaf groups .My stainless 338 win mag shot 3/4 inch with a 225 grain at 200 yards .I tried hornady and nosler bullets they shot 6 inch patterns at 100 yards 6.Its the throat in them that's the problem it's for factory ammo and very hard to reload for .I have not found many bullets that shoot good but when you do buy a bunch .My 338 shoot clover leafs at 100 yards with the right factory loads and spray premium hamdloads all over the place . You could have it rethroated .

Ruger actions need bedding in the recoil lug, the front screw will loosen then it acts as a slide hammer to prevent the stock from splitting. Ruger 77 needs a little fussing to get them to shoot their best.

Have an LH FTW 6.5 Creedmoor that had an out of round chamber Ruger put a new barrel and bolt on it. Ruger is quite good at correcting any mistakes.
I don't like the double clunk on bolt opening and have one that is quite smooth, owned over a dozen LH Ruger 77,s MK2, and Hawkeyes. Have a custom
LH 35 Whelen is one of my favorites have 2 LH 77,s with reworked Pacific Research, Borden RH stocks to LH.

Ruger technical dept recommends 95 inch pounds on the front screw, hand tight(just snug)on the middle screw, and 45 inch pounds on the rear screw. 5 lbs upward pressure at the forend.
