Dennis,

Thanks for the kind comment. It is actually a M77 tang safety Ruger hybrid. As I mentioned it has a Rem barrel. It doesn't even have Ruger rings. It has the super lightweight S & K rings, which BTW are discontinued. The only thing Ruger is the action mag box, and floorplate assembly.

I have three M77 tang safety hybrids and they all shoot. I feel very fortunate to have a good gunsmith with Joe Reid at Lawson's here in Tucson. He is the reason those Rugers shoot.
