Model 77 early/rare/unusual

Post by KWend54 »

Hi all
I had such a great time in Tulsa with my display, I’m exploring the possibility of putting together a Model 77 display for Fall, Tulsa 2025. They have always been my “go to” rifle and of course I have a few. Trying to see if there would be any chance if finding any m77 display worthy rifles, any caliber for sale preferably non prefix😆
Thanks Kenny Wendland

Finally, something we won't be competing for against each other. I only have one tang safety Ruger and I'm content to keep it that way. I will keep you in mind if anything comes across my radar.

Ken, I own a tang safety M77 in .300 Win. Mag. I have taken 3 Elk in New Mexico with it and and now my college age grandson wants to keep it for his own elk hunt some day! It wears a Leupold LPS scope that was offered in the late 1980s. It is a 30mm tube, 3.5 to 10 variable power and a 45mm objective. Great rugged scope that does well in low light. Sorry I cannot help you, but my grandson has first dibs on this quality rig. Brass Frame/Lee E. I set up next to you in Tulsa.

Oh nice…Great hunting in NM, I was born and raised! Tulsa was a great time! Nice meeting all the Ruger guys and seeing so many rare Rugers. That is kind of why I am trying to go down the Model 77 road. My first deer was taken with a model 77 270 and the number of Northern NM coyotes taken with my 200 th year 22-250 would make PETA cry.
Always loved a model 77…. don’t think they get the notoriety they deserve.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
