Ruger used to offer the 458 mag version with a steel trigger guard. Note this was the regular 77 action not the 77 rsm. Perhaps ruger still stocks this asa replacement item. If not try the company that makes steel guards for the remingtom 700. the name eludes me but they advertise in Rifle shooter and Hand loader magazines.
The trigger guard is available from Moyers. Moyers only makes the floorplate for the long action; the short action floorplate is available from Ruger. Its the same as the current M77 Hawkeye's floorplate. I was informed of this by Moyers. I believe a small company before a huge corporation.
FYI, as a rule of thumb, no parts for a tang safety are interchangeable with the Mk. II's or Hawkeye's. Though the Mk. II's and Hawkeyes are.
Did you have any luck finding a steel trigger guard iam looking for one to read some reveiws on the moyers steel trigger guard and i guess their are a poor fit and 75 dollars a pop hmm. Any how i was thinking has any one actualy tried to put the newer trigger guard from a MKII on to the older one they are made of all steel and a better price the only differnce i can see is how you press the button for the floor plate I have not tried this my self i am also looking for a steel one to maybe some one on this form nows if it will work or not to me it looks like maybe it could lets hear back to some one that knows please thanks jamie
I purchased a MkII trigger guard from Midway and adapted it to work on my tang safety Ruger. The screw holes are closer together on the MkII guard, so I cut the the guard, spaced the pieces to the desired screw hole spacing and welded it back together with some filler metal to fill the gaps. Shaped it with the Dremel. Works for me. Purchasing a after market part is probably cheaper in the long run.
On the original M77 the guards are pot metal not even aluminum. They have high strength aluminum replacements that fit right ---go to Brownells. Their plenty stout.
