I would start with Hill Country Rifle.  I believe their website is www.hillcountryrifles.com  Good luck with your project.

Wyatt has rebarreled two SS M77 Mk II rifles for my brother.  He has done a number of jobs for him over the years.  He also rebarrel or rechambered other rifles for him.

what with the time and money of a rebarrel,you might be better off selling your rifle and buying a Weatherby rifle (they come with a Krieger barrel) in .257 Weatherby mag .I a'm sure you would be well pleased .you choice but with a rebarrel you will still be stuck with the Ruger action. some times the simple way is the best way .

That seems like a lot of work. Bolt face, extractor and magazine would need to be modified to work with the larger case diameter of the 257. It would be a LOT easier if you started with a M77 already chambered for a belted magnum.
