Hello,
I have a Ruger M77 hawkeye, and want to turn in into a "scout" type rifle.
Would it be possible(cost Beneficial) to have a gunsmith machine the barrel and install a forward scope mount, then shorten the barrel to between 18 to 20 inches?
Or, just look for a factory scout rifle? I have looked at the savage model 10FCM, but do not know of another manufacturer that makes a factory scout rifle. If you have rifle recommendations I am open to hear them.
I am really attached to this rifle and would not be opposed to spending money on it, (up to a certain point) Like the cost of a new rifle.
Thanks
