7x57mm barrel for LH Ruger 77???
Does anyone know if such a thing is available? If so, from whom? Ruger, themselves, perhaps? Also, are their LH actions reverse-threaded for the barrels, or standard?

Wow, that's a lot of questions.

Gracias,

You can buy a 7mm barrel for your Ruger and have it chambered to a 7X57. Lots of people make barrels. I'm sure a Ruger barrel will fit, but they won't rebarrel rifles in calibers other than what they originally were chambered. Since Ruger has never chambered a LH rifle in 7X57, I think you might be out of luck, but then again, it never hurts to ask.

The threads are standard, but the rifling is reversed. Sorry, I couldn't resist. The barrels are the same for RH amd LH receivers.

Glen71,
Got a great chuckle out of that one. Thank you for the jump start this morning.
