Ruger 77/22
Ruger 77/22
I've wanted one of these for some time, but could never justify the price of admission. I picked this one up new last year, after it moved to a 'clearance' rack at a local shop. They must have had it for some time, as the .22 LR version has been out of production since 2016 (a serial number check says Ruger shipped it in 2015). It had already been marked down $150, and being on the clearance rack meant an additional 25% . SOLD!

Re: Ruger 77/22
I have always liked those myself. A very nice, full size .22 bolt rifle. Excellent buy.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Ruger 77/22
Nice rifle and great deal. Had one years ago but foolishly sold it. Many a ground squirrel fell victim to it.

Re: Ruger 77/22
I haven't shot this one enough yet to know for sure, but if the results at 25yds are any indication, I think this one may be a keeper. This past weekend, the temps climbed above freezing for a bit, so I took it out to do a quick sight-in. I got it as close as I could eyeballing down the bore, then got to work... One magazine (10 rounds) of CCI standard velocity reads like this...
Rounds 1 and 2 (covered) at 1 o'clock, about 1/2" out from the red...adjust
Rounds 3 and 4 (covered) at 2 o'clock, one just touching the red...adjust, cover the holes for shots 1-4, adjust (see what I did there?).
Round 5 at 8 o'clock, just inside the red. Eh? Thought about it for a minute, and dialed the scope 1/2 way back to where it was after shot 4.
Rounds 6-10 made one hole.

Re: Ruger 77/22
I've always admired the 77/22 and had one, myself. Interesting bolt gun and yours has some nice wood. I think the rise in popularity of CZ rimfires hurt the sales of the 77/22, though. The CZs were also in that niche of a walnut and steel 22, but at a more affordable price.

Nice shooting there Roddy. I need to get mine out one of these days and see what it will do again
