[QUOTE="V98, post: 3777642, member: 45468"] From the replies to this thread on the Ruger forum this magazine box mod is a miracle fix for the accuracy issues on some M77’s. The folks that said they had no issues with accuracy all commented their magazine box was slightly loose to actually rattling. I just bought a new M77 Hawkeye and the magazine box is definitely bedded hard against the trigger guard tab and floor plate tab. Maybe it happens to some and not others due to the variances in wood stock tolerances? I know I was advised to really tighten the front bolt and leave the other two just tight enough they don’t fall out. In fact I was advised to use blue Loctite on the back two bolts. Maybe the factory over tightens those bolts on some guns. Beats me, I just thought it might be helpful to folks on this forum. [/QUOTE]
