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 well at all with 130 grain - 150 grain bullets. Best groups are 2" at 100 yards. The rifle has been bedded and has had a trigger job. We have tried a variety of hand loads with this gun with varying results.
I have read all about the deep chamber throats as well as quality issues with these rifles and wondering if re barrel would help with accuracy or if this thing is even worth messing with? I don't think I can bring myself to ever sell this gun and I'd like to be able to shoot it instead of having it sit in the back of my safe. Any thoughts or suggestions? I'd be real happy if this gun was a tack driver.
