M77/22 Trainer build (just starting)

[Ianski]

Hey everyone!!

Just came by a 77/22 in great condition for a steal so i figured i'd use it as my guinea pig!

The plan:
so far from what I've read and the first hand experience of a buddy, i think I'm going to go with an 18" threaded Lilja Barrel.

Still trying to figure out the stock options. I like the Boyde's tacticool, but i haven't been able to find one for a 77/22. I'd even be happy with some kind of hogue stock, just don't want one of those huge laminated thumb-hole Varmint style stocks, anyways, I'll be posting pics as things come together!

Sounds like its off to a good start. Those actions seem very well build almost overbuilt but I guess thats good in some ways. Eventually I want to get around to a 22 trainer but thats a ways down the list. Good luck on the build and if you dont mind my asking what did the action set you back.

Hey! Nice choice for a rifle! I've been shooting one since high school. I noticed that you were looking for a stock and I knew just the place to look for you. Here's the link : http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=438627

I have a 77/22 target grey model. Nice gun. First thing I would do with mine would be an aftermarket trigger.
That being said, for tacticoolness, get a savage MK2 TR. I love my savage and dont shoot the Ruger much anymore.
