TriggerShims 77/17 ~ 77/22 Bolt Shim Description

This is the Original TriggerShims Brand 77/22 Bolt Shim Kit!! Used and Approved by Thousands of Shooters Worldwide!

*The Original TriggerShims 77/17 ~ 77/22 Bolt Shims*

Q) How does a Bolt Shim Work??

A) Rimmed cartridges use the thickness of the cartridge rim for headspacing
.22 Rimfires Headspace on the Case Rim, and the actual head space is in the recessed face of the bolt. Shimming between the two bolt halves ensures the bolt is up gently tight against the breech. If the bolt isn't up close against the breech it tends to cause misfires and light strikes. If you are getting misfires and light strikes, shimming is the first, easiest step to solve it.

Generally the excess space between the two bolt halves is between .002" and .006" ~ but can be as much as .010" My 4 Pak kit includes 1 Each of ~ .002" .003" .004" .005" shims for a total of .014" potential adjustment, and thicker shims (or thinner .0015") can be requested if needed.

Accuracy problems can sometimes be caused by a loose bolt, Our Original TriggerShims Brand Bolt Shims can solve accuracy problems caused by a loose bolt.

If a .002" shim cannot be installed because the bolt will not close, or closing requires too much force, your actual working clearance is where it should be, (.001"- plus or minus .0005") and you are the lucky one to have a rifle from the factory that is already in the "Sweet Spot"

If you find Excess Tolerance Space in your rifle, even our thinnest shim has been shown to improve accuracy in most rifles where the Benchrest Shooter did a thorough before and after comparison, and if not, You Have My 100% Satisfaction Money-back Guarantee!

Flyers - if the cartridge is not Fully Consistently seated in the Breech, you will get Inconsistent Accuracy, if you are looking to solve accuracy problems, this is a First and Inexpensive place to start

Our Shims are Precision USA Made of Precision Shim Stock and have a Industry Standard of Less Than < 10% Thickness Tolerance, and can be used as a measuring device for checking the excess Breech to Bolt Space if any in your rifle

Our Stainless Steel Shims will fit all 77/XX Bolts, This includes 17 Hornet, 17 HMR, 17 WSM, 22 LR, 22 WMRF, 22 Hornet, 357 Magnum, & 44 Rem Mag

TriggerShims Ruger 77 Bolt Shim 4 Pak include:
1 x .002" - 1 x .003" - 1 X .004" and 1 X .005"
for a total of .014" potential adjustment so you will be assured to have more than needed to adjust one rifle.

Our testing has shown trying to shim to less than .001" unnecessary,
and while I can make you .001" shims they are I feel too fragile to be practical

.001" shims are too thin/delicate to be practical.
In my opinion, proper clearance is .001"
and if a .0015" shim is too tight, no shim is needed.

Lance, Thanks for the note about my order. I learned about your shims when I bought my first Ruger 77/22 Magnum. Read about them on line. Bought a set and loved the results. Recently bought another 77 in .22 LR and want to improve its accuracy as much as it did my other rifles. Your shims are a great place to start! ~ Thanks Forrest in OR

77 Bolt Shim Instructions

77/XX All Models Bolt Shim Kit
Installation Instructions

Installing Bolt Shims requires fitting by hand, with the Bolt installed in the Rifle, and Locked Down.
You do not measure with the Bolt out of the Rifle.
Note: You will need one standard 4 Pak Shim Kit to properly fit one rifle.
You will generally only use 1 of the 4 shims in the package.
Start with the thinnest shim, (.002") and install, then check to see how your bolt closes.
As long as it continues to close normally, continue to add shims .001" at a time, stacking as necessary.
(Example = .003", .004", .005", Stack .002"+.004"=.006" .003"+.004"=.007" etc.)
When you have installed enough shims that the bolt just begins to be hard to close,
remove .001" so it closes normally or just (ever-so) slightly tighter than normal.
It is better to be just slightly on the loose side than too tight.
If you have to force or put undue stress on your bolt to close it, you should reduce the number of shims.
The Bolt Play between the Bolt Halves was designed into the assembly by Mr. Ruger
We are only concerned with the Bolt-Breech lock-up fit, and there you can have anywhere from
<.001" ( perfect) to >.005"+ which will definitely affect accuracy."
A minimum of clearance should be maintained, do not put undue stress on bolt by shimming under .001" as it is unnecessary!

The only (easy) way to measure this is with a $11 Bolt Shim Kit, which
is both a Measuring Tool and a Fix.

Bolt Shims have in many instances cured light strikes.
Will they help with Accuracy? Don't take my word for it,
Read the Customer Reviews at the bottom of this page or on our Reviews Page.

Simply by chambering more consistently, yields more consistent results.

Hello Lance, I just installed my Volquartsen VC77TS on my Ruger 77/17, what a difference it made in the trigger pull. Your instruction video made it easy! Thank You, Mark

Lance, finally got my 77/357 today. I installed the (VC77TS) sear and spring with no issues. Before installation trigger pull was 5 lbs 3.0 oz, after it was 2 lbs 7.2 oz. that is an average of 5 pulls on both. The kit reduced trigger pull 2 lbs 5.8 oz. I am very happy with the trigger pull now. Thank you for the wonderful products and helpful video. If the need arises in the future, I know where I will be looking for good products.

TECH PHOTO TIP: Ruger 77 Safety Clearance

Ruger 77 Safety Clearance Check

Installing the Sear Kit or Spring invloves doing a Safety Check. Before beginning disassembly you should look closely so you can see how and why the safety works, I always clean and regrease the Safety Selector and check the clearance when servicing this rifle. After Installing the VC77TS Kit you should Check the Safety as contact here between the Safety and the Trigger Bar can cause drag and a hard working safety

The ONLY time you would clearance the safety is if the Sear was Changed and Safety Drags, Binds or will not properly activate, and this is very rare, and seldom needed with Volquartsen's VC77TS Kit

A picture is worth a thousand words, click on the picture to see a full page display

If the safety will not activate, remove and reinstall the original sear, to double check your work to make sure it will properly activate with the original sear in place. If it will, compare the photo here showing clearance, so you understand what needs to be done, reinstall the VC77TS Sear and check it again

NOTE: It Is Very Important Not To Remove Any Material from Safety Unnecessarily - Proper Clearance is .001" to .003" or less than a dollar bill

I use 330 Grit Sandpaper on a flat surface, and use even strokes to remove a small amount of material at a time, and recheck. Properly done, it will take several times to remove a small amount of material to get it perfect.

Do Not Use a Power Tool, Bench Grinder or Belt Sander ~ You Will Remove Too Much Material, and Render the Safety Useless

Safety Function Check Must Be Performed Anytime Rifle is Disassembled!

Lance, I received the sear and spring kit today. Easy installation thanks to your video. Best of all the trigger pull went from 6 pounds to 2-1/2 pounds pull, perfect. Thanks for a quick ship and a great website.
Warmest Regards, Dan in PA

Customer Reviews

Hi Lance, I finally got a chance to shoot my 77/22 with your shims installed and as promised , I’m getting back to you. The bolt is now a bit snug when closed but I don’t mind. My gun used to shoot ½ inch 5 shot groups and now shoots 3/8” 5 shot groups. About the same as my Kimber. My Anschutz still shoots the best and will do ¼ inch groups. The Ruger 77/22 has a 2-7 power scope and might do ever better with a 9 power scope. The Kimber and Anschutz have 3-9 power scopes. These were a very good investment. Jim

Lance, Thanks for the prompt delivery. The shims worked as advertised on the 77/22 ~ No more misfires! For years I have not used this rifle because of it, Now it is getting a real workout instead of gathering dust in the back of the gun safe!.... A Very Happy Customer ~ Bill in the Great North

Lance, finally had a day to work on my Ruger 77/44. Needed a .003 shim for the bolt and the install went perfect thanks to your videos. Also installed the Target Sear and Spring and went from 5+ lbs to 2.25 I couldn't be happier with the results..... I'll be sure to tell anyone else about the great products and service you provide. Thanks again, Kirk in VA

Lance, When last we corresponded I had completed several modifications to my vintage 1984 Ruger Model 77/22 that had not been shot until I became its proud owner. I installed your trigger kit, floated the barrel and installed your bolt shims. The vintage Burris scope I installed has been replaced with a Primary Arms 4-16X44mm scope, primarily to add more elevation for shots longer than 200 yards

I was disappointed that the Burris didn’t work for me as it enhanced the appearance of my “period piece” project.

I’ve probably put five hundred rounds through the rifle and have gotten a good feel for how it shoots. As you no doubt realize, the bolt on the 77/22 is massive when compared to most .22LR rifles. This probably explains the heavy feel of the bolt as it is cycled. I’m hopeful that the bolt will continue to smooth and cycling will be easier as the round count builds.

I got to the range yesterday for an hour of shooting. After refining my zero I shot two targets (five rounds each) that are worth passing on. I believe this performance is what can be expected if the system is working well. The best target was 0.29” extreme spread which was followed by 0.36”. I am extremely pleased with the 77/22’s performance following the modifications provided by you.
Thank you so very much,
Norm in TX

Hello Lance,
I bought a Ruger 77-44 back in 1997. I put on a nice Leupold scope and went to the shooting range with several of my favorite loads. It shot a 12" pie plate size group at 100 yards. I was very disappointed, so I cleaned it up and took it home and stuffed it in the very back of my vault.(out of sight, out of mind). I have two revolvers that will out shoot this rifle with open sights. Several years later, I took it out and tried several more "favorite loads". It shot a nice 12" group. I then took it to my local gunsmith and had it pillar bedded and crowned and everything checked out. Back to the range for yet another nice 12" group. I was beyond disappointed. So, back to the very back of the vault.
One day I was sitting at my computer and I put into Google, "Why won't my Ruger 77-44 shoot? I started reading and that is how I found you. I ordered the bolt shims and springs and installed them right along with your video. Then back to the range with my favorite loads, and WOW, was I surprised. I am sending you my best group target on that day. My group went from a pie plate to a tennis ball with your parts. Thank You for the excellent parts, video, research and information.

Hi Mr. Shively, I meant to write you much sooner than this, but better late than never? I had to tell you that the Ruger 77/22 Bolt Shims you sold me were amazing. The accuracy improvement was stunning. Who knew that for $10, I could improve the gun so much!? I have been trying to get this 77/22 to shoot as well as my 10/22 for years now. Different stock, bedding job, Shilen bull barrel and still, my 10/22 with 'cheap' Butler Creek barrel would out-shoot it. It was frustrating! Not anymore. The shims you sell are miracle workers. Once I got the right combo in the bolt, accuracy became a '1 hole' affair. The Ruger 77/22 now shoots any ammo I put into it much better than before, and with genuine target ammo (Wolf Target Match), it just rips one ragged hole at 50 yards if I do my part. With the 'left-over' shims, I fixed up my sons 77/22, too, and it was the same effect. In his gun, groups were cut in HALF from what they were! Amazing. Thank you so much for making a great product at a very affordable price. Your shims make such a big difference. You helped me "love" my rifle again!

Sincerely - Michael in TX

Lance-
I recently received a Ruger 77/22 in .22 Hornet after waiting almost 6 months for it. It gave pretty good patterns, not quite full choke, more like modified. No matter what I did it wouldn’t do any better. In addition to terrible grouping, somewhere along the way while shooting my bullet impacts would suddenly start marching up the target to the northeast. In one case the string measured at least a foot and a half. It may have been more but the last two shots were off the target board. I went online and read that quite a few people were having trouble getting the 77/22 to group and the recommendation was shimming between the front and rear of the bolt. Your address was given so I ordered a set. I put in a .003" shim and got some improvement but not enough to crow about. I decided simply putting in a shim without testing wouldn’t do it. I removed the .003" shim and put in a .004" and a .002" to equal .006". The bolt was definitely tighter! I could close it, but it didn’t feel right. I took out those shims and put in a .005". Eureka! The bolt closed snugly. Next trip to the range got me groups that were worthy of the Hornet! And no more marching to the northeast. Your shims work! Thanks.

Lance,
I have an older Ruger 77/22 Hornet that I was about to throw in the river out of frustration with accuracy. I glass bedded it, put a new trigger in it and it still wouldn’t group no matter what ammo I tried. I put your shim kit in it and like magic it shoots 1 inch groups all day long. Thanks for a great product. Jeff 1/18

Lance,

Received the order today and am very satisfied. Actually better quality than expected. I had been searching for a very long time for pre-made shims for the Ruger 77/22 Hornet when another member at http://rugerforum.net/ posted your site address with high recommendations. Next time I'm in that forum I'll certainly endorse his recommendation.
Thanks for a great product - Jerry in OK

Hi Lance

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know your shims arrived
and I am more than pleased with the results. I shimmed the bolt on my
Ruger 77/22 and the preliminary tests have been a reduction in group sizes
approximately 25 to 30%. Thank you so much for a quality product and the
prompt shipping was a nice surprise. I will certainly be recommending
your product!

Hello Lance,
My son and I have several 77/22's
My 22 hornet would not shoot at all, I tried different loads, different bullets, nothing worked.
My son told me about reading on a Ruger forum about your product . I put .007" in the hornet, not only
does it shoot great one hole at 75 yards but I am also not having the base come off the case after two reloads .
Now I am ordering for friends with the same problem .

Target Sear Review

I just got back from the range today after installing a couple of upgrades to my Ruger 77/44.
I purchased and installed a Target Sear Kit and Trigger Shims from www.TriggerShims.com
It made a huge difference taking the pull from about 6 lbs. to a crisp break around 1.5 pounds. It was very easy to install and there are videos on the TriggerShims website listed to help. I have another 77/44 I installed a Rifle Basix replacement trigger on a few years back.... I think the Volquartsen Target Sear install is better at half the price. I ordered it on Sunday and got it today... Great service. Mike S. in Indiana

Lance, I received your bolt shim kit months ago and installed (1) .002 shim in the bolt. I just had a chance to shoot the rifle yesterday and I am very pleased with the difference it made. The groups at 200 meters tightened right up. I've had this rifle for about 25 yrs. and it's always shot good, but now it shoots great. I have 3 Anschutz 64 action rifles and now the Ruger is the best shooter. I will pass this information along to others who have the same rifle. Thanks, Randy in NJ

Lance, I wanted to let you know that your bolt shims worked great for my rifle. I have had the shims for a long time but today was the first time I was able to get out and try the Hornet to see if it corrected the flyers I was getting. It worked beautifully and the groups are smaller as well. I am more than satisfied with the shims. I did another Ruger 77, a .22 RF as well. Great product.
I am an old man of 86 years and I have owned that Ruger Hornet since they first came out and it was driving me nuts, I had changed scopes, sent it away to be cryofrozen and nothing seemed to work. But these shims were the perfect answer.
Thanks, George in Maine

Hello Lance,
Thanks for the fast mailing. Yesterday I when to range to test the new trigger. Very smooth and crisp. My Ruger 77/357 trigger pull went from 5.5 lbs down to 2.75 lbs . Your videos are so informative and easy to follow. Now to my next task with the bolt shims.
Regards, Craig

Good Evening Lance,
Thank you for the prompt shipping on my order again! I finally had a chance to put the sear and spring in the rifle tonight, and it went from 4.75-5.5 lbs inconsistently, to a consistent 2.75 lbs! I will recommend your store to everyone I know!
Thanks again, Joe in WY

Lance - I just bought the seat and spring kit from you for my Ruger 77/17 win mag and couldn’t be happier. The kit took 5 minutes max to install and I’m very pleased with light and crisp trigger pull. With your kit installed this gun is now actually fun for precision shooting. Thank You!
Marc in MN

Lance, Shortly after my e-mail to you this afternoon my mail arrived with the kits, I had some errands to run but could not wait to get home and install them. From the time I started to the time I finished was approximately 35 minutes; an amazing time for a guy with two left thumbs. The trigger pull on my 77/22 mag was reduced from 5 1/2 lbs. to 2 3/4 lbs. : the trigger on the 77 hornet went from 5 1/2 lbs. to 2 1/2 lbs.
I'll be in touch within the next few days and order kits for my 77/17 & 77/44.
Thanks again for excellent product and excellent service

TECH TIP: Ruger Bolt Shims Review

Lance, I am amazed and unbelivably happy with my Ruger.
I still haven't received my scope base yet to mount a Vortex Diamondback I have for it, so using a 1" tube package deal scope I had lying around to try my gun out with your shims and the Volquartsen sear. Now were talking !! This is my personal best at 50 yrds for a 5 shot group.

Thank you so much & God Bless ~ JM

I am purchasing a used Ruger 77/357 and was watching video reviews when I found out about the sear and sear spring kit to improve the trigger pull. I started looking around for the Volquartsen kit when I found your video covering the installation of the kit. I was very impressed with the ease of installation and how in depth you went with your information. I had found a Timney kit at MidwayUSA for $49.99 plus shipping. When I got to your site and found the Volquartsen kit for $45.00 and free shipping, I ordered the kit. I have a Ruger 22/45 that I installed a Volquartsen trigger kit in, I am very satisfied with the improvement in the trigger and very happy with the product so, I knew I could not go wrong with this purchase. Thank you for your email and for keeping me informed with the progress of my order. After some of my more recent customer service treatment, You are a very welcome breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work and thank you again.
