[quote=RedofTx]but the next best thing I think, a Ruger 77 made in 1983. It is controlled round feed at least, as that is what I was wanting in a rifle of this caliber. [/quote
I don't wish to disappoint you but if my memory serves me, the Ruger 77's made in 1983 are not true Controlled Round Feed actions. While they have the long Mauser type extractor the cartridge does not slide up under the rim of it and is captured when it leaves the magazine. The action also uses the Mauser type bolt release but it uses the REMINGTON 700 type button plunger ejector. It was the Ruger 77 MKII that became a true CRF. HTH Jerry
