Ruger M77 6.5 Rem mag

[rugerdczr]

been looking for a 6.5RM and I have a lead on a Ruger M77R 6.5 Rem mag 70 prefix Hollow Bolt with drilled extractor in mint condition, this is the first Hollow bolt I have seen in 6.5 anybody else see any?

That gun should not have a hollowbolt.
Hollowbolts are known only on the long action.
The 6.5 is a short action.
But never say never... might be a unicorn there. With the way Ruger does R&D, why wouldn't they have made a few short action bolts with hollow bolt handle?
Since that bolt is cast as one piece, would be interesting to see if the scratched number on the bolt matches the gun... then... winner winner chicken dinner???
Be sure to keep us informed on this one!!!!

Speaking about 77 6.5 Rem mag I decided to letter some of my 77's. The 6.5 mag came back as a 77S. So did my 30/06 hollow bolt with sights.

Yeah, kinda intersting the S models. Built at a time when the bean counters didn't think it was prudent for them to include an expensive set of rings with a gun that had factory installed sights.
