Overpriced by several hundred unless you are a collector.

I like the rifle and caliber, but wouldn't pay that price for 4 of them.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

$1750.00 and hasn't reached the reserve price yet? Collector or not, a guy could build a heck of a .260 rifle for that, and have some left over for a good scope.

The rarer ones bring a premium. 7mm-08, 223, 260, 280 etc. The 7mm-08 and 260 seem to be the holy grail for GB auctions though.

I can't see the intrinsic value. If I owned one, it would be for sale at that price.

The Mark II is my favorite of the 77's, but definitely not at that price.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I'm worth more dead to her than alive... My second was a 280. Third was a 22/250. Then I bought a 270 so my sister would stop borrowing the 260. By my calculations, I have $ 1479 into all 4 rifles.

I've seen one .223 - with an early pushfeed action. I was broke, and passed on it. Kaiser Norton The last couple 7mm-08s that sold on GB brought over $2k EACH!!!....go figure. 223s brining nearly $1k and 22-250s between $1-1.2k. More than I'd spend on them. But I have 4 of them right now in the more common configurations. 243, 308, 270 and 77/22...I like them, just don't like over paying for them. The 308 I picked up was $410 out the door with a cheap scope which I sold for $35-40 so I was into it for under $400.

LGS has a .308 ss boat paddle that looks almost new for $650. Thinking hard about it. If anyone is interested, PM me
and I will pass along contact info. Need to be saved from myself as I already have 6 .308s:)

299 for a Rem donor, sell stock and barrel, put new barrel on, possibly new trigger and a good stock of some kind, be in under the dollar mark, and a MUCH better non ruger rifle. Win win all around.

Jeeze, looking on GB, I can sell my 77/22 for more than double what I paid for it.
