Thread: Top tips for M77 Ruger

"Tips for Ruger M77"... Haha, I opened this thread and was about to post my top tip - but saw there was more to the question...

My top tip was "Sell it....", these things went through a period that no one talks about where the quality was equal to Remington at their worst. The one I got handed had a gap between the barrel and the receiver shoulder, the recoil lug had a casting flaw amongst other issues - it was ugly. Got it to shoot acceptably enough but it was definitely made to be used and not admired that's for sure.
