    Show me your Rugers!

    As a lot of you probably know, I love Rugers. Have had a lot come and go over the years, sadly haven’t been able to hold onto as many as I would like due to strict finances, but having a one in/one out policy has at least allowed me to try out s bunch of different offerings from Ruger. This is my current small collection, consisting of:

    Ruger 10/22(1994 made, same year as me actually, in mint condition)
    Ruger M77 Hawkeye in 7mm Rem Mag, fitted with a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x40
    Ruger Precision Rimfire in .22lr
    Ruger M77 Mk1 in .308Win, also mint condition, and with open sights, an awesome gun to shoot. Currently fitted with a Leupold Vari X II 2-7
    Ruger M77/22 in .22lr, my absolute favourite

    I’m always on the hunt for other Rugers, in particular M77s, but open to anything! Flick me a message if you have anything you want to sell/trade, but more importantly, post up the Rugers you have in your collection to share with the group, let’s see what awesomeness is hiding out there!

    Those PMACA chassis’ are great, it’s a shame they don’t seem to be brought in anymore

    It won’t eject live rounds manually, anyone can share some lights to solve the issue?

    Here's my m77 243 , i know i had it before 1980 so 45 yrs old . Shes a bit like the owner ie: seen better days ! but still a good reliable gun, i mostly use it for 100yd range shoots but take it for a walk after a deer when i feel a bit nostalgic. Scope is a cheap Bushnell 3-9

    Another one I used to wn but sold... No 1 in 375 Holland and Holland Magnum...... I bought it as I had access to a private block with 'wild' cattle...(Feral and never mustered would be a better description......) Never got the chance to shoot one, but at $180 per 20 rounds then it was a bit pricy to use for general hunting (and heavy to carry too...) Lovely gun. Wherever it is now I hope the new onwer is enjoying it as much as I did. I thimk it went to someone on here....

    My only Ruger. Made 1979 and purchased new likely in 1980. Cost $99.00. My second new rifle to my .308W M700. Probably shot more rounds than any other rifle while in my ownership. Quite accurate and going nowhere.

    Had to trawl the forum for this photo. What are the chances, Two no 1s both newly purchased by two different blokes turn up on the same day. One in 3006 and one in 220 swift. I still have the swift but probably foolishly declined the 06 when I was offered it.

    Only ever owned two Ruger’s , a 44/77 and a 10/22 .
    Still have the 10/22 , but the 44/77 didn’t last long because no matter what I tried I couldn’t get it shoot accurately enough for my liking.

    This was Dad's 10/22. Brought in the 80's?. As a 10 year old kid I thought it was the coolest gun you could get!. Spent many an evening chasing rabbits and possum with it. Don't use it a lot these days, but still one of my favorites!.
