Got any info on the Ruger M77's?

[DeerFearMe]

Im in the hunt for a new deer rifle, I already have the best there is a Rem M700 30-06 but Im looking for something different, Ive been looking at the Ruger M77 in a 300 mag. or a 7mm mag. left handed bolt with the laminated stock with the stainless barrel etc. But Id like to have your alls thoughts on these rifles an any info that you have on them would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, DeerFearMe

Stick with the Remington. Great rifle and the 30-06 will do everything you need. You may want to consider upgrading the optics, bases and rings on the current rifle (if you haven't already). I have learned the hard way not to go cheap on the scope. Check out the Leupold, Kahles, Zeiss very high quality optics.

For me, I have never had much luck with Ruger rifles. I couldn't get them to group. I was not happy with 2-21/2 inches at 100 yards, even thoough that is sufficent for deer.

Good luck,

I just got a M-77 / 308. I topted it with a Nikon Monarch 3x9. Very Sweet..........I'am not having any problems grouping it at a 100 yards.

Shot a ruger m77 for years topped with Leupold scope. No problem grouping once I found the shells it liked, it was particular about what I fed through it.

I have a 25-06 M77 with a 26" bull barrel and a trigger job. I also have a 700 (30-06), a 70 Supergrade (.338) and a regular 70 (300WSM). I like them all, but that Ruger is by far the most accurate. I really like the 25-06 caliber. It's hugely underrated and overlooked as a deer gun, especially for kids and women. For them, it would be my first choice. It's tough to beat the versatility of the 30-06, though. Frankly, I like all the calibers of the bolt actions I have.

You have to watch the older MK2 w/the synthetic stock...It will kick your a$$...My .338 holds a 1" group at 200yds W/Federal premium ammo. Fit and finish are great too.

Met a guy at the range that was so fond of his Stainless/Synthetic 300 Mag Ruger bolt-action, he sold his other rifles, and used the cash for some fly-in hunting trips. He was getting tight groups, it was reliable and tough, built to last. I'd consider one myself if I was looking to buy another rifle. We let each other pop off a few rounds thru each other's rifles, man talk about kick, a 338 is even more...wow. I'd be wanting a muzzle brake!

I have a ss/syn in a .270 cal. I love this gun. I shoots great. I bought my wife a m77 compact with the ss/lam in a .243 cal. Man it is a sweet gun. She loves shooting it.
