    Different GP100 in 357!?

    Came here looking for info on the GP100 as I've found a 4" one locally for $399, with same grips as op. It is blued, a little worn around the barrel tip (holster?), a minor turn ring, but seems good and tight. Thanks to the op I now know to look closely at the forcing cone and top strap. I have...

    Ruger M77 Mkll Stainless, .243 $600 obo

    That is the stock that came with the rifle, I assumed they were all Zytel. Does this mean you can see pics now? I only see a pic in my first post, the others just show the pic address.

    Ruger M77 Mkll Stainless, .243 $600 obo

    Nice gun, Boyds Nutmeg laminate stock, will include original plastic stock, and ammo/brass. Could include case. Scope not included! Mounts maybe. Would trade for precision chassis rifle in 6.5 creedmoor.

    M77 MKII scope mounting options, and trigger job?

    Out with the old, in with the new! Boyds Prairie Hunter Nutmeg Laminate. Also polished the trigger parts, and used a different sear spring. The spring I got from Wolff was longer and actually increased the pull, but I found one in my stash that worked well, down to about 3.75lbs. Wolff stands...

    M77 MKII scope mounting options, and trigger job?

    I know the pic is 'yuge, but I can't figure out how to make it any smaller. The upper scope is the one I had planned to use, Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44. The lower one is the "new" one I got pre-owned from another forum, Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50. You can see the added length behind the...

    M77 MKII scope mounting options, and trigger job?

    Thanks everyone. I'm just waiting for the new scope to arrive, I'll mount it up and see where I'm at.

    M77 MKII scope mounting options, and trigger job?

    Good idea, and what I plan to do. I have a laminated M77 SS .22WMR heavy barrel (my favorite!) with a Vortex CrossfireII scope on it. I'm going to get that out at do some measuring and comparing. This rifle (.243) measures out at 13.75" LOP (trigger length), I actually need a little longer. I...

    M77 MKII scope mounting options, and trigger job?

    Well actually, going by Boyds video, my stock should be 1/2" longer than it is. That would make matters worse. I'm thinking the eye relief is the main issue. I took this scope off an AR where it was great. The M77 locates the scope further forward. I'm looking for a scope with 4" eye relief.

    M77 MKII scope mounting options, and trigger job?

    OK, so I did some experimentation with wifely assistance. In order to get a good sight picture I need the scope to be about 2.75" from my eye. With the Ruger rings it is about 4.75". If I mount the rear ring ahead of the scope turrets, it's about right, but of course that leaves the front of the...

    M77 MKII scope mounting options, and trigger job?

    The Weig-a-tinny mount I'm considering. Might have to go with a cantilever style scope mount.

    M77 MKII scope mounting options, and trigger job?

    I have the SS M77 MKII in .243, I used the 5k30 and 6k30 mounting rings, but that puts the Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 scope too far forward, and I really have to lean into it to get the correct sight picture. It's very uncomfortable. There does not seem to be offset 30mm mounts. What are my...

    sp101 22 magnum

    I'm with you guys on this! I've been looking for a .22WMR revolver for a while, even emailed Ruger to ask if they would consider a GP100 or SP101 in WMR, got a big fat NOPE! It's obvious they would sell. Even if they just made a WMR cylinder to add to the SP101. Taurus, that tracker looks like a...

    WTB: 38/357 Lever Gun

    I have a Henry Big Boy .38/.357 H006M that's the brass receiver one, that I would consider selling. I just don't use it, less than 2 box's of 20 downrange. I have the box and everything it came with. How about $675?

    WTB 4K30 and 5K30 SS scope rings.

    Got a M77, looking for 30mm Ruger rings. I have 1" if interested in trade.
