New Ruger M77 MarkII needs a better stock
I just purchased an all weather Ruger M77 MarkII in 7mm Rem Mag. The gun currently groups 1.5" at 100 yds with 140 gr. Nosler Ballistic tips. I am intersted in swapping the stock for a drop in mcmillan that is from cabelas ($359). Does anyone have any experience with this stock or can you recommend a good drop in alternate? Should i expect improved accuracy if I change the stock?

McMilain make good stocks,but for 1/2 the money I would look at the Houge with pilar bedding.
If not I would also look at Boyds wood stocks.
As for accuracy bedding might help,also I would look at a diffrent bullet.

No guarantee that a replacement will make the gun shoot any better.. I had that model rifle in same caliber last year and it shot very well with plain 140 grain corelockts. I adjusted the trigger and that was it. Bedding on mine was tight thru the barrel channel and didn't seem to be a hindrance at all. If you absolutely do not like the stock then I would suggest a Mcmillan. Hogue stocks are heavier then McMillan stocks and the factory stock as well.
