What I have is a shooter and not a new in box collector grade. What I want is to build a rifle for Shuetzen matches in .327 Federal Magnum. I am looking at using around a 150 gr. to 165 gr. Money design boolit. I have my BP rollies in .40-65 and .45-90 and I cast the Money boolits for both and the rollies shoot better than I can aim. I just want a lighter recoiling off hand rifle for 200 yd. shooting. Any suggestions/information for my plans will be greatly appreciated.
My plans:
1. 28" or 30" round or octagon/round heavy barrel that will clear the forend hanger. I haven't received the rifle so don't know barrel dia. clearence.
2. I have started looking online for No.1 stock and A. Henry forend, prefer off No.1 Medium Sporter if the medium forend will fit. Don't know if light sporter and medium sporter are same size. I don't think Ruger will sell stock sets w/o them fitting.
3. Plan on using my Lyman STS in 10X and maybe a repro. ladder rear sight and a Lee Shaver front sight with bubble level.
4. Had a Canjar SS trigger in a No.3 about 30 years ago and I really like it, but I am open to all suggestions.
5. Now back to boolit size, design, mold, preferred powder, and best barrel twist for the type of target shooting I am planning.
I apologize for such a long post, but I have always got excellent feedback from you guys. Thanks.
