I bought this nifty 1986 Ruger M77 tang safety in .270. The interesting thing is that it was put into a stock the likes of which I have never seen on a Ruger 77. Somebody found a very nice black fiberglass stock with Schnabel forend and molded stippling in the gripping surfaces. No monte carlo. Has a slim Pachmayr pad with basket weave texture that appears to have been epoxied onto the buttstock. The pad is branded Pachmayr. There are no other markings anywhere on the stock. Stock appears to be foam filled.
It looks very much like a McMillan featherweight from a Winchester Model 70 -- but Josh at McMillan tells me they never made a stock like this for the Ruger tang safety. He said maybe it was Brown Precision, but they don't list anything similar.
All in all a very portable powerhouse and perfect for climbing into and out of tree stands. Shoots great. Whoever put this package together valued compact size -- for he found this very nice stock and a Redfield 1 3/4-5x lo profile scope. There is nothing extra here.
But can anybody identify this stock?
