Picked up a very nice Ruger 77R in 7 x 57 made in 1976-- it is like new-- will be loading some 140 NBTs for it shortly--should be a nice gun-- the stock is very nice for a production gun--I know it is bad but a few of us still have long guns too

1976.... should have the roll stamp made in the 200th year of liberty. It should also be the tang safety, I like them better than the safety on the bolt. If I remember right John Barsness is a big fan of the 7X57. Nice rifle.

Congratulations on the purchase!

Tigger you are right on target--It also has the small tang safety--I think it was around 80 the went to the one that was just a bit longer--It does have ruger rings--not a flat top

Nice gun though--I cleaned it last night and should get the scope mounted this week--I have 40 rounds of brass--plan to load them up in the next few weeks

H2OBUG,

Back in my rifle hunting days, I used a Ruger M77 in 7x57 more than any other. Mine liked the 145 gr & 4831 powder. I made some shots with it that I should not have taken. However, I had confidence in the rifle & the cartridge.

Good luck.

I guess I must be quite the sinner, then. I have a good amount of rifles. I actually need a bigger safe.

I am right up there with the rest of ya! I have a Browning 243 that is just plain nasty accurate. I have a Marlin 1894 22 Magnum that was my grandfathers. I have tossed the idea of selling them, until I shoot something with them.

They just end up back in the safe hehe!

Don't feel bad. I think we all have skeletons in the closet. I still have a few rifles. I want to get a 22 revolver to squirrel hunt with some day.
