This is a cool 98 mauser sporter in 25-06. The stock has been professionally done with action glass bedded and barrel free floated. Timney trigger. Very nice bluing, polishing and jeweling on the action which is as smooth as glass. It shoots as good as it looks. So, what value would you put on...
The range I'm sighting in at only has 100 yard range... I'm unable to get sighted in at 200 before Saturday unfortunately...

Hey guys.. I have an old Ruger M77 that I just had re-barreled with a Shilen 6.5mm chambered in 6.5 creed. I've only had the gun out once for barrel break-in and to get it on paper and only at 100 yards and it looks like it could be a great shooter. I'm heading out to chase some speed goats...
I'm rebarreling my Ruger M77 in 6.5 creedmoor with a 24" Shilen 1:8 sporter barrel. This rifle will be used for bench shooting mostly, but will likely kill some game as well. I reload several calibers and have mostly RCBS/Lee dies.
A buddy of mine can get a deal on Redding stuff through...
I think I'll go for the shilen now that I know it can be further turned down. Just out of curiosity what are opinions on the green mountain barrels? Thanks for the suggestions gentlemen...
Looks like that barrel is already too small for what I need on terms of contour diameter. Nice find though. I may have located a shilen on midway. It's not a blank but is thicker contour than my current barrel. Can a factory contoured barrel be cut to proper size if it is larger diameter than...
I have a nice Ruger M77 in 7x57. The gun doesnt shoot as well as I'd like it to and I've decided to take this in a different direction (rebarrel in 6.5 creedmoor). I contacted the Colorado school of trades, a trade school that does gunsmithing for cheap here in Denver. I've been pleased with...
Thanks for the responses.... This rifle has the original stock and has a great bedding job. Why do you think this is not the original stock? The butt has a plastic ruger emblem on it?? I could be wrong but I always though this stock was original....Anyways the barrel is floated the whole way...
Who makes an aftermarket barrel for this?? I'm interested to know what options are for this. What kind of accuracy can be expected with an aftermarket barrel??
Just checked some of my loading logs.. Ive tried:
Horn 139 SP 48-50 grains IMR4350 3.05" OAL,
140 Nosler with 50 grains (case as full as I can get it) IMR4350 3.08" OAL.
Horn 139 SP 47-49 Grains H414 3.11" OAL.
Horn 139 SP 42-44 Grains H380 3.11" OAL.
I havent tried H4831 or RL19...
Hey guys I have a Ruger m77 7x57 with the tang safety made in 1977. It was given to me as a gift from my grandfather who was a big gun geek. I have several of his rifles that are incredibly accurate and unfortunately this isn't one of them. We have not been able to get this m77 to shoot very...
