 Topic: Need some skinny on Ruger M77Posted: November/10/2009 at 19:00 |

Guys, I just got my Insurance check for my Camry and saw a Ruger M77 300Win Mag with 3-9X40 scope in the local paper for $425. Claims it s shoots tight groups. I know nothing about Rugers much less the M77s.
Please share you opinions and thoughts on this rifle. A 300 win mag is the cal I want to get next. Is this one worth persueing?

Sure.
Why not?
 ( Not a big Ruger fan myself, but don't let that bother you. They really are pretty good rifles with some very nice features.)

for $425 thats an ok price, its got the controlled push feed. im guessing at that price its a markII and not a new hawkeye. i would ask for proof targets before buying though. i had a markII in a .280 that shot pretty well. three position safety is nice too.

We're talking the original M77 w/tang safety,right? That's a fair price for a GOOD rifle. I've got one in the Compact Carbine configuration(.243 Win). Got a friend who has one in .25-06 that is VERY accurate. I found one like your talking about for a friend about 5-6 yrs ago. Like new for $375 w/o a scope. I've seen them going for more than $425.
The triggers are suppose to be adjustable from within the trigger guard but mine never made a diff when adjusted. They are not a true controlled round feed if that matters to you. They have an intregal receiver/ring base set-up and a number of aftermarket ring manufacturers have rings for them if you would decide to try something else. Can't really remember of any "quirks" associated with the rifles. I do know that JB used one as a basis for a custom rifle and I believe his gunsmith friend Charlie Sisk likes to build on them. One thing for sure,they are a tough rifle. If you like the way shoots and it looks good inside and out,I'd say go for it. Edited by 300S&W - November/10/2009 at 19:48 |

as far as i know the ruger triggers arent adjustable at all without an aftermarket trigger. they say its a controlled round feed on their web site.

The old M77(tang safety) had an allen screw reachable through a hole in the top of the trigger guard that Ruger said was a trigger adjustment. Mine does nothing.

I have a 77 MK11 as my "go to" rifle. It is chambered in 350 Remington magnum and is an absolute joy to shoot! 1'' to 1 1/2" groups with no modifications at 100 yards. - FUN!

You know my thoughts Bud, check out the condition first and as noted above test targets if available and go for it.

The old M77 was a push feed, spring plunger ejection action with an adjustable trigger and tang safety. The new M77 - MKII is controlled round feed with fixed blade ejector and 3-position safety. Actually, there was a very short period when the MKII was first introduced that it did not have controlled round feed.
The M77 & M77 MKII are very rugged and reliable rifles with some nice features. If you get a good one that shoots well, you'll be happy with it.
