What do you think of the Ruger M77 All weather?

Answer 1

the M77 is a fine weapon. Not a tack driver but not shabby in the least. As near a perfect hunting rifle as one can find.

The "all weather" part....well, I like synthetics on a "meant to be used" pickup truck rifle. Just don't buy the original stock with the big "Ruger" molded into it. You'll probably come to regret it.

Answer 2

It might be alright in some calibers, but I had one in .300 WinMag that was a real dog.

The light sporter weigh barrel would heat up by the third shot and throw bullets all over the target.

I tried bullets weighing from 100 grains to 220 grains, three different primers, and seven different powders. I loaded to velocities little better than .30-30 WCF levels to 3300 + fps levels. I just could not get the damned thing to group worth cussing.

When I got rid of it, I swore I'd never buy another stainless steel rifle, especially one with a skinny barrel. And if I ever buy another Ruger M-77, it will be a carbon steel model.
