My first Ruger was an American rifle in .308. Run of the mill rifle performed well, but did not make me a Ruger fan. Then I picked up a Hawkeye Guide Gun in 338WM with iron sights, added Alaskan quick detachable mounts. That one made me a fan. Love that gun.
Easy for me. M77's in .243 and .308. Taken my share of deer with both. I really enjoy taking the .243 to the range for a morning of shooting.

The reason I like mini 14s mainly the factory folders is because of when I used to watch the A-Team when I was a little kid.

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 fired until some months ago when I put three rounds down the barrel at 100 yards and all three were touching each other. Some friends tell me that I will never be able to sell the rifle as new unfired and that is just fine for me because it will eventually go to my only son Richard and know he will take good care of it. Yes, I have also owned and hunted with Winchester Model 70 rifles, but they are far from matching this outstanding Ruger Mod. 77 Mk II.
1967 10/22 International then a 77 30/06,then 44 carbine,and next early 6mm No 1and the ball was rolling!!
Since we bought my Dad a brand new 77R 6mm for his birthday in 1984. What a beautiful rifle, not too gaudy, classic good looks.
Ruger has always managed to tastefully put their spin on gun designs from the past, No. 1, Blackhawk, 77 (Mauser comes to mind) Mini 14, etc.
And, if it's a new and original in design they can do that too.
I have 6 Ruger rifles, so far
77R 6mm Remington
77RS 243
77/44 Walnut
77/22 2nd year production
10/22 standard model
LC CARBINE 45 newest arrival!!

Never understood why the No.3 wasn't offered in a broader range of calibers and possibly bbl lengths.
I really don't think it would have impinged on No.1 sales, it might have led to more?
One last thing, if the current PC 9mm were offered in a non-takedown version I would be all over it. Kinda like a slightly bigger 10/22.
I have really enjoyed this post, lots of similar stories…..

Your rifle is what is known as Ruger Safari Magnum or RSM. Had two of these years ago, one 375HH and other in 458 Lott caliber. The 375H&H was actually somewhat mild to shoot versus the 458 Lott and either rifle was quite accurate. Lived in Alaska for some years and became very familiar with the 375 H&H but it was a Mauser rifle which was well used and not quite as accurate as the Ruger RSM. They are indeed fine beautiful firearms and from what I have seen on other gun postings these rifles are hovering in the $2,000 + range.
