Thread: Love for the M77s?

Who has a ruger m77 mk2 and why do you love it

I love my MK2. Deep bluing, investment cast receiver and polished stainless bolt, great 3 pos safety. Well made and accurate rifle after a bit of fettling (pillar bedded stock).

Beautiful rifles some of them but fark me they are heavy

best stainless out there.have had 2 of them, still have a paddle stock in flamethrower .270 what a beast!

1986 carneys bivvy in the havelock...timber blued .308 win..first ever solo thar / chamois trip

Yea I’ve had a mk2 paddle stock 308 for years and absolutely love them. So well built and dependable and can’t beat the ruge rscope points I reckon.

Never found mine that heavy but I’m used to carrying around a marlin 30-30 as well.

Mines been dead accurate sub moa with no fiddling around just torque the screws properly

Ruger scope mounts*

A mauser action left hand, what's not to love?

Off topic, but 4 of us spent a week in that hut in 1967. A bit crowded sleeping! One guy on the floor, 2 guys top to tailed on one bunk, and one guy with a bunk to himself. We rotated each night. Single bunk was bliss, other arrangements not so.

Love my ruger paddle stock 270.stainless is unbeatable only thing that has marked it was battery acid and even those marks have polished off.guns been so filthy iv taken it in the shower with me after a hunt.
Doesn’t worry it

The rifle I should not have sold. My first left handed bolt was a Mk11 Ruger in 270win which I owned for 20 years. It was my only center fire for that time. Later in life it got a new barrel from True Flight (24" stainless fluted). Have some great hunting memories involving that rifle.

I have a wooden stock one in 308. I also have a Howa 1500 with the hogue stock which groups accurately but the ruger feels so much better in hand. Not hard I guess when pitted against a bulky feeling hogue stock.

I’ve got a limited edition, M77 basket weave, in .358 win, love it, very accurate, nice balance and weight.
Dumps game like a hot Dam, 225 gr soft point at 2450.
