The 77 with tang safety chambered for "heavy hitters" have stock splitting issues? Also, synthetic stock are available for this rifles?

Yep and the fix was to releave the stock behind the tang, about a playing card width. Then put in a couple of cross bolts and bed the action to forward of the recoil lug.

I'm sure my 458 had factory fitted cross bolts, not releaved & never had any trouble with the stock.

But the fix above would work to !

I would say hard now days to get after market stocks for these old girls.

I love the old M77 tang saftey rifles myself !

But my new work rifle is a Ruger 416 Alaskan rebarreled to 458Win using a Ruger No 1 45/70 take off barrel .
