Please post when you have the project complete. I am wanting to have the barrel chopped to 16.1" and threaded for a can.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: css</div><div class="ubbcode-body">One correction you need to make I think, when you buy a new rifle, Ruger will swap 1" rings for 30mm for no charge if they are un-opened. They did it for me a couple of times a few years ago.
For my woods walking rifle, I settled on a 18.5" Stainless Marlin chambered 357mag. 10 rounds, good peep sights avaliable, faster cycling for a lefty, shorter OAL(just a little).
I would like to play with a 77/357 just to see haw it handles. </div></div>
I had no idea on the rings. Thanks for the tip and I will get them swapped out.
FYI - I have a Henry 357 Big Boy and this handles I lot lighter and quicker.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: HOGGHEAD</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Nice review. It appears that Ruger is going to be offering their trim 77's in a left hand version in the near future. I think I might try another one if they do that.
Is the barrel on your 357 pinned or is it threaded?? I heard they are now threading all the small 77 rifles, but their web site still shows the barrel as being pinned?? And maybe I missed it but I did not see any comments about the triggeer.
I do wish Ruger would make the rifle a bit more accurate. I have had three. A 44 magnum, and two 22 Hornet's. I did find the 44 magnum to be deer accurate to 100 yards, but I would like a rifle to be a bit more accurate than that. But the two 22 Hornet's I had were definitley not groundhog accurate to 200 yards. Tom.

I will update the article with the trigger feel. The trigger feel is not a target trigger but was fairly crisp just a heay trigger pull. Not gritty. I am hoping to do some tweaks up up accuracy however I am not too worried about anything more than the 2" groups I had at 100 yards.
