cjw3,
A little off subject, but a local gunsmith has made several Ruger 77's shoot well simply by putting a shem under the front of the action to lessen the pressure point on the barrel...not make the barrel free floating...but to lessen the pressure "a little." He has made several 77's go from 2" shooters to under 1".
My pal down the road fixed his Ruger 77 himself by putting a piece of a business card under the front of the action as a shem. And sure enough, the group tightened up dramatically. Wish I had known that before I got rid of my old M77.
