new Ruger 77 in .358 Win,,,,
« on: April 05, 2007, 12:10:07 AM »
has anyone handled/seen one? I had an early one in .358 and the barrel was very skinny contour. I saw a .350 Rem Mag recently and it had a heavier contour. I'm wondering if the new .358 Wins will be made on the heavier contour, too? It would be an improvment in my opinion.

Alan, I BELIEVE I handled one at the SHOT show, in the SS hawkeye, but it may have been the 338 federal, whichever, it seemed to have the same contour as the 350 I had, but if you contact Ruger, they will respond.
