Hello: I’m looking for a Ruger M77 in .458Lott....Prefer 3 position safety. I will consider other makes, and barreled action only is fine as well.
Please respond via PM.
Thanks !
Derek
 
Have you considered rechambering a Winchester 70? I think you will be money ahead and happier with the rifle IME.

When I had mine done, Ruger’s were $2000 ish in good condition.

Win 70 458 Win Mag - $1200
-Rechamber
- mag work, maybe bolt stop adjust, check feeding....
-shorten to 22” and recrown
- Replace sights with NECG sights
-adjust trigger to 3 lb
-Add Limbsaver pad

I think I’m right at $2000 with the great fit of a Winchester 70!

That’s what I did. Danny Pedersen with Classic Barrel in Prescott extended the chamber. Local smith did the mag work. Prolly $700 all in IIRC

If you haven't found one yet, I have one in excellent condition.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
