[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1238171, member: 97414"] Up-date on Ruger M-77 Mark II. Just came across a frugal priced Ruger chambered in 30-06 with 20 rounds down the pipe, comes with Leopold 3X9 gold ring below the $400 Canadian funds. The owner of this rifle bought it as a fill in unit as his 308 Remington was getting a work over, it sighted in with 3 shots and has held 0 at 200 yards over the last 5 years when he bought it new. This rifle has gone on 4 Northern Canadian Moose harvest by pick-up truck, OHV scavart and bumped and banged in rain snow and rocks on foot hikes too, the reason the scope has stayed put is the mount bases are built into the action, another plus is the quality Red Field Rings ordered in from Washington state,,, these rings have worked well for all our Magnum rifles that shot 200 and higher grain bullets since the increase recoil is very noticeable too all size shooters, 250 and 300gr's defiantly put a whelop of kick back on scopes, stocks and shooter. Any-who, this M-77 is the new beginning of Strum Ruger as they took over barrel operation on there own after receiving feed back on some issues that arised a few years back this might be why the Hawk-eye is now gaining grounds along with America Ruger in a different category of the frugal market. The Old school M 77 Mark II is a heavy rifle, this unit is 8.9 lbs of solid iron and laminated wood stock, action as many of us know are based on the Muaser that has been improved greatly by 1964/67 ish,,, Don't recall the year specific too be honest. The actions on these rifles are very solid, and make a good plate-form too start with here in Canada, the laminated wood stock gives this rifle the feel of years gone by. Glass or epoxy bedding along with after market triggers are are where most firearm folk start, There are lots of after market barrels too choose from too. The real plus of the M-77 is they are frugal too purchase, solid plate form too begin a build, and this too most of us is a great place to start. From Western Canada Don [/QUOTE]
