mnguy152 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Was wonder what are your guys opinion on this rifle. Plan on doing mostly doing deer and maybe a hunt out west a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perchking Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I have that rifle but in a 7MM Mag. Little heavy but a nice shooting gun. I had the trigger re-done which made a world of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtheis Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I know this might be late, but you should read the report in the latest issue of Shooting Times where they compare the latest rifles in the popular .270. Winchester Model 70 Sporter comes out on top and both editors seem to love the rifle. It might help you be more informed. The Ruger 77 was among the rifles tested.

fishuhalik Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I've shot one in 30-06 a few times and wasn't impressed. It wasnt that there was anything wrong with it, it just didn't stand out in any way that a good rifle should. Kinda like a Chevy impala. Not a bad car since it'll get you home and back, but not a class leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordie Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The M-77 ruger is a great rifle and I had one in 30-06. Nothing bad to say of it I do hunt with a guy that has the M-77 in 308 and he loves it he reloads his own rounds and he down loads them for his daughter as she also shoots it. Great gun and great round you will not be disappointed in it if you get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtheis Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Also, check out the Ruger American. Everyone who shoots this rifle loves it and it is recommended by nearly all who review it. A truly great budget rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorthozzy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I have that gun in 30-06. I love it I have never shot fancier guns so my opinion is limited. I love mine for whitetails have a nikon on it and it shoots great for me. For the money I don't think you can go wrong. I only shoot it about 10 shots per year so it will last me for a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
