My new M77 Hawkeye - Blued/Wood
« on: October 19, 2007, 02:15:36 PM »
Picked this one up from a another fella who had set it all up and only fired 12 rounds. Decided he didn't want to deer hunt after all and so I bought it from him. Not a handling mark on any of it, gun or scope, also got all the boxes and paperwork, even the unfilled warranty cards. The scope is a Leupold VX-II 3-9x40 with duplex reticle. I am really impressed with this gun. I've looked at, and almost bought several of the 80's model 77's and this one is definitely a throwback to that era. Red recoil pad, really nice wood, hinged floor plate in steel now instead of aluminum, Ruger insignia on the floorplate (nice touch), matte stainless bolt and trigger, matte black finish on the rest of the metal, 22" sporter weight barrel, nice light, carry gun.  Can't wait until tomorrow when I'll be seeing how it shoots for me.  It's a .308...........................

Here's 3  -  3 shot groups I shot this morning. Was all I really had time for. Not great but will do for now. I'm happy.
