Help with a stock

Please can anyone tell me where i can get a synthetic stock for a Ruger M77 MK11 458 LOTT. I have tried just about everyone i can think of and find on google and NO one seems to make one.

the rsm mark ii 77 is NOT a "77" action. . it is the ruger safari magnum action. there isn't an off the shelf that will fit it. none.

the rsm is about .75 longer, and 3/8 wider, than a m77

Have you called McMillan or any of the other makers like MPI (if you like their stuff) since they also offer lots of options?

I guess I've been hanging out on AR to long. Over the years I've seens several posts like this looking for a synthetic stock for a Ruger Safari Magnum which is not a standard 77 action. Every post has had the same result - nobody makes one. If you do find such a stock please let us all know. With Ruger discontinuing the RSM the odds of finding such a stock are getting worse.

Call McMillan with the dimensions of the action, they can tell you if any of their blank stocks can be made to fit. I buy "flat top" blanks every so often and machine/fill to fit actions that semi inlet or drop in stocks don't exist.

MPI can custom bed one for you. They will need to find an equivalent barreled action to yours in the US to use and then there might be some minor adjustments once you get it due to variations in the casting finish, etc below the stock line. They can recommend which of there patterns to start with.

McMillian might be able to do the same.

??? Myabe I missed it, but how do we know that Siliwane is located in Zim?

I had guessed that Siliwane is the Rodeo star who posted here on AR a few years back under a similar handle.
