Ruger m77 22 hornet

[seasley]

What is the going rate on these? Found one for $400.00 with scope and sling and was wanting to know if that was decent price

If the rifle is in good shape I would say that is an excellent price. Just my opinion from listening to the tailpipe as you hold the phone, lol.

 

[seasley]

Gun is in awesome shape. Has a cheap Simmons scope but gun is in really good shape

 

[pyscodog]

JMO, usually when you buy a rifle w/scope, the scope is a POS anyway. Sounds like a decent deal. Buy the rifle, junk the scope.

 

[MGYSGT]

Buy the rifle and shoot it. If the scope is junk then switch it out. Sometimes those older simmons and such fool you.

If it shoots that's a great buy.

 

[terrace]

I'd buy it and if it Doesn't shoot re barrel it to 17 hornet

 

[remmy1187]

Buy it now and throw a good scope on it and you will be set.

Really good. Price new they are about 700 around here.

 

[fishguts]

id take it to the range first, I had one and could never work a round for it that would group worth a darn?

 

[Jksnvly]

^ Agreed. I tried 2, neither would group well.

My 77/22 Hornet is one of the most accurate rifles I own and very very easy to load for! And I love the Rugers little 5shot magazine!

 

[seasley]

It is a tack driver. Got the gun,scope, and two boxes of ammo for $400

I own one and it is also one of the best shooting rifles I own. Had mine rechambered to the 22 K-Hornet. Brass seems to last longer now.

sounds like you got one heckuva deal to me! I have one of the laminated stainless and it shoots great but I did float the barrel on it. Other than that it's all original, even the trigger which I wouldn't mind being a little bit lighter but it is crisp.

I own a 77/22 Hornet and paid around $600 if memory serves me right.

It wasnt very accurate to start with. So I put a new trigger on it, and floated the barrel. And accuracy has improved dramatically. I like the rifle's feel and weight. It carries quite well
