I bought a PCC 9 carbine some time ago and on first visit to range using IMI 9mm ammunition I had a few failures to feed and failure to extract as well. I use Glock magazines and wonder about that but after a dozen or so rounds the problems went away. Not sure why but normally I take a new...

I have owned several Ruger firearms during my current life of 81 years and always wanted the 77 Mk II known as the "American Express" version in caliber 30-06. Well, I bought one from good friend of mine and could not be more pleased with it. It was new in the box with all papers and never...

Took me a while to make up my mind but bought the scope and the barrel on my No. 1 already has the bases installed while owning and using a Unertl 16X scope, it was a good combination or rifle and scope. Going to the range tomorrow and test it out, but only have a box of commercial ammunition...

I only live about 10 or so miles from Douglas Barrel Co. and had them do the work on both the NO 1 and NO 3. Have used Douglas for various barrels over the years and find them to be quite accurate and overall, well done. Over the years Douglas has done considerable number of barrels for the...

I for one would like for Ruger to re-introduce the very handy Ruger NO. 3 in almost any caliber. I have a modified NO 3 but an original in a suitable caliber would indeed sell to the gun buying market and in no way could it be determined to be a weapon of war as some like to classify all...

I took my NO 1 and had Douglas make two barrels for it, one in 22-250 and other in 348 Winchester. Keep in mind that replacement barrels require that they are fitted to your action for dimensions vary from action to action but other than that only part change out is the extractor suitable for...

A Ruger Model 77 in 7x57/275 Rigby (Same cartridge just a different name) would indeed by a very nice hunting rifle. A true Rigby in 275 Rigby is a very pricey rifle and long wait time as well. Spotted a used FN Mauser at a gun show in decent shape and bought it for $200 dollars, refinished...

I have an original NO 3 but have new barrel (Douglas SS medium weight) in caliber of 6BR, 23" length. Did away with the plastic barrel band and modified the forearm to a nice, rounded shape. Refinished the walnut butt stock and forearm and sent it off to be checkered, turned out nicely done (no...

Yes it is and definitely agree a very nice rifle indeed.

I own a Ruger PC 9 carbgine in 9mm and have sighted mine it at 50 yards and very accurate at that distance with whatever ammunition I use. Opens up a bit at the 100 yard range, but still suitable if you had to shoot at that distance for a target of whatever. Just my experience and do like the...

Sometime ago posted that I had acquired one of these rifles in caliber 30-06 caliber new condition for it had never been shot by the original owner. Had no plans on selling it so decided I would shoot it for its first time at my local range. Original owner and I go there on a regular basis...

Finally got someone to answer the phone and told them of my inability to make contact with Customer Service and nice lady told me she would help me out. Bingo!! Got to talk to real human and gave her my SN and she looked it up and said that Fed X was to deliver today. Bingo Again!! Found the...

Sent my Ruger PC9 carbine trigger group back to Ruger for some repairs and upon checking if they had rec'd, and when it would be returned their phone number is giving me a recording that says that particular phone is not working??? Tells you to call back later and have done so for last couple...

Can't say that I know for sure but would imagine to be the same buttstock for either rifle. Give Ruger a call.

Some years ago, became fascinated with the Ruger RSM Mod 77 rifle and bought two of them, one 375H&H and one in 458 Lott calibers. Familiar with the 375 H&H for carried one while living in Alaska for a few years but the 458 Lott was a new caliber for me. Both rifles were beautiful in all...
