Aftermarket stock options for Ruger M77 Tang safety

[RadSav]

I found an article online that said to use a carnauba wax on your barrel and action and it worked slick! Everything came right a part.

I've been warned about using carnauba car wax as a release agent for 30 years.  But, after dozens of guns I've never once had an issue with Meguiars Gold Class.  I do apply a coat, rub it down and repeat at least three times.  Just to be sure   I used Acraglas release agent once and had to break the stock getting it apart.  Won't ever use that stuff again!

With the right guided drill those Brownell Ruger pillars are about as easy as it gets.  Don't be afraid   Although they do take twice as much time when installing on a Ruger.

I like the Bell & Carlson "Alaskan" with the aluminum block. Slim, light and stout. Priced right to boot. For a Rem700 of course.

Have you ever had a B&C stock keep it's finish for more than a couple days in rain and brush?  I've always had them in camo, maybe spiderweb is better   And I have never had a B&C that I could just drop an action in.  Always a bunch of work.  Not that good of price when you replace it after a few weeks of hunting.  In comparison all HS Precision stocks have been 98% or better drop in.  And they have worn like iron.

Being a Remington guy, have you ever tried the Bobby Hart stocks?  I've read nothing but good things about them.  Haven't had a chance to try one yet.  I'm very curious.

Hard to beat the HS for fit. Heard good things about Hart stocks, also never tried one yet either.

My B&C's have fit other than barrel channel work to free float them, that's due to non factory barrel contours. I do agree somewhat on the finish. I have a tan B&C that I noticed the edges of the forearm rubbed through fairly quickly. I do like the HS Sendero stocks, I really don't care for the design of their palm swell on the PSS stocks. No, I have not tried the Hart stocks. For a light weight stock, in a ADL configuration for a hunting rifle, I really like the old school Remington KS stock.

Have had the finish, after several days in a high country rainstorm, just slurry off the stock! What a mess!

This a  tang safety M77 22-250 with a Richards stock with a timney. Had to do a little trimming but not bad.

I don't care who you are. That's a pretty sexy gun right there!

Same stock I'm finishing right now, that looks great Big10. Looks like the Gray/Black Wildcat Thumbhole with the Rosewood Tip?

Good looking rifle there Wade! Love those micro-fits! Give up on the .20's?

Pretty sure it was the black, I haven't shot it for several years, it's become another safe queen.

Dewey, I still shoot the 20 quite a bit but mostly been using the .243 WSSM on coyotes this year.

Thats an awesome coyote round there!
