Which Ruger M77 do you own?
The older tang safety version?
The M77 Mk II?
M77 Hawkeye?

Does the rifle have a standard barrel, or the heavy barrel?

Knowing what action and barrel you have helps determine which barrel contours will fit in your existing stock.

But, before you dump a bunch of money into the rifle; give it a try as it currently sits. Load up some 55-62 gr bullets, and see what you can do at 500+ yards. The information you learn from those exercises will help guide you through any modifications you choose to make.
