Let alone I was shooting blaser aluminum 158gr in 7mph cross winds. The only malfunction was occasionally getting rim lock in the mags but that’s a super easy fix to poke the rounds to reseat them. It was absolutely hilarious to shoot suppressed but it had a weird 12” ish POI shift UP when adding the can. https://i.imgur.com/XPW6csk_d.webp?maxwidth=1520&fidelity=grand https://i.imgur.com/D45q0kv_d.webp?maxwidth=1520&fidelity=grand View Quote The spec might be different in these .357 rifles, but the main receiver bolt torque in other M77 rifles is much much higher than what you are using. It’s not uncommon for them to be torqued low from the factory to keep the barrel free floating in the stock. If you can relieve the barrel channel and torque to spec there can sometimes be improved accuracy. |

Is Boyd’s the only option for wood stocks? Has anyone found other stocks or even chassis?
Ideally, I’d like a wood version of the polymer stock it comes with. A chassis would be cool too. |

I wish they'd do a 500 version or even 50AE.

Boyds would likely be way cheaper and easier to deal with. I know I'm looking at it myself, but set up the way I want is almost $350 shipped on top of having to pillar and glass bed it once I get it. |
