    Ruger Hawkeye M77 stainless, left hand, in .375 Ruger. Rebarreled with Shilen 1:12, 22 inch ( maybe 23 inch ), fluted, stainless barrel, restocked with Pendleton stock with Decelerator recoil pad from Oregun Gunsmithing. Original trigger tweaked for clean 3 lb break, entire barrel and action bead blasted matte.
    Started the build last year and only received it this week. Hope it shoots as well as its looks suggest !

    Thankyou for your comment. That's a "barrel band" sling stud. There was one in the same position on the factory Ruger barrel. Not 100% sure buf it looks like the gunsmith detached it from there and put it on this Shilen barrel, just as I asked. Forestock sling studs can dig into the hand under recoil with the bigger calibres and it's quite common to see them positioned forward on the barrel

    Makes the rifle a heck of a lot easier to carry too. I have taken the sling studs out of all my rifles and looped the slings on the barrel instead.
    I like the squared fore-stock, should sit and hold well in hand. Shilens are great barrels

    Very nice. As another left hander I know the difficulty finding things like aftermarket stocks. Great job.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Thankyou sir. You are quite right. Anything for left hand rifles is just that little bit harder to find, less plentiful and often a bit more expensive. It's very satisfying to finally pull it all together and complete a project such as this.
