SnellstromThanks
I appreciate the information.
Ditto with Lynn, I put a SS .375Ruger Hawkeye barrel on a tang safety receiver with ZERO modification - headspaced to within .002", stampings lined up, and barrel shot ~1.5moa like it did on the Hawkeye action.
Of course, this is a sample of one but the threads are the same so it's probably just a matter of where the tolerances add or subtract.
You got lucky; it is true that they will fit well, do not expect the markings to line up; Ruger barrels are not timed. But I put them on and they work without issue. As stated.
