Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds WTS Ruger 77 MKII .257 Roberts

I purchased this rifle new in 2002 and upgraded the plain stock to a red-pad Hawkeye stock ordered new from Ruger. Like my Remington .223 I just sold on here, I skim-bedded a piece of a business card to free-float the forend, and tweaked the trigger. Among the photos is a group with 75-grain Sierra hollow points and Ramshot Big Game with 5 shots in 0.60 inches at 100 yards. Rifle is $1100 shipped from my FFL to your FFL, funds to be certified check or money order. First "I'll take it" here followed by a PM to arrange payment gets it. Scope is not included, but I will include the original Ruger medium rings. This is a very nice, clean rifle in very good condition with low round count, but I am downsizing for retirement. Send me a PM and I can text more photos. Thanks for looking.

Shouldnt last long!

Thanks Jgotro. Couple more photos:

nice

One more photo:

Another favorite load is Hodgdon Hybrid 100V and 100-grain bullets. This is 5 shots at 500 yards resting over my range bag on the hood of a pickup, and using the bottom "picket post" of my duplex crosshair as an aimpoint:

Nice 257

Thanks Davidwc.

Just curios, you bought the rifle new in 2002 but the date, as I see , on the test target is 5/1/18 explanation?

Are you implying that the test target in question came from ruger? I can tell you it did not, as they do not shoot that well from the factory.

Great gun and caliber. Tempting.

I ‘am not implying anything buddy, just wondering how that target could have been shot by you 5/1/18 when you didn’t buy the rifle until 2002. Not trying to be a wise ass either, that’s a damn nice rifle and I don’t doubt it shoots well. Since Ruger started to make their own barrels,in the late 90’s if I’am not mistaken, most all the 77 Hawkeye shot well. I have owned a few myself. In addition I’am a great fan of the roberts, have had at least one all my adult life, presently have two a Remington 700 classic on the long action, that allows me to seat the 120 grain nosler out a little further just off the lands and with a hot load of H4831sc it’s a wonderful antelope and deer cartridge. My other roberts is a kimber hunter I use foe coyotes nearly exclusively, shooting that same 75 grain Sierra , and surprisingly a hot load of H380 shoots like a house afire and really does a number on those yotes, without damaging pelts if you center mass them ahead of the diagram. Also have a 257AI on a FN action and Lila barrel, now that’s a smoker, have taken elk and caribou and big mule deer with, problem is noe at 85yearsvoldnits a little heart to tote up them hills. And by the way that rifle should move soon, I would jump on it if I were #1 a little younger and#2 didn’t have too many 25’s already. Good hunting and good luck on that roberts. Don

He bought it in 2002 and the target is from 2018 (16 years later), makes sense year-wise to me.

"target shot by you 5/1/18 when you didn't buy the rifle until 2002" think......think really hard.

mighty fine rifle that has all the proper work done IMHO, little extra bickering will help draw attention, GLWS sir.

Nice Bob! If I didn’t already have a 76 tanger in Bob, I’d consider this one. (No target misunderstanding here) 😎. GLWS

I'll have whatever he had in his coffee this morning!!!

Are you related to Paul Barnyard?

There has to be a blonde joke in here somewhere !!
