I gather from my last thread here that there is quite a Ruger following. Lets see em fellas! How about some Ruger porn. 77s and even the #1. Post em up. Targets too.

Hawkeye All-weather in .308.





77/44





My favorite little "knock-around" pistol.

MkII Magnum 375H&H



Hawkeye 223

Nice .375 H&H.

Thanks. Loves 300 A-Frames. Shoots 270 Hornadys well enough.

Here is a Ruger M 77 Express rifle in 270. Note the express rear sight on the barrel. That rear open sight has two positions with it's fold up leaf. It's quite accurate.

I tried to get my wife to pose wearing nothing but my stainless Bearcat, but no dice!

1S 9.3x74 and 1H 450/400 NE

Great thread! And lots of guns worth drooling over. Currently no Rugers in my safe, but that is subject to change.



OOPS Forgot! Have a new issue 10/22 SS "target" model (not the old spiral exterior model) with factory stout barrel, but alas I have no pictures of it yet. Took it out for the first time last Thursday and shot up some rodents. At 25 yards it piles all of its bullets on top of one another. Nailed a couple of ground squirrels at a bit over 100 yards with the wind right. Great rifle so far.

Sweet African. Cool chambering too.

safariman said. "Great thread! And lots of guns worth drooling over."

Nailed it! Flying under the radar these Rugers. Seems it's all about the Tikkas and Kimbers lately. All these snazzy Rugers just hanging around killing stuff and looking good doing it. Liking it.

Bad pic, 6.5/06. Was originally a 30/06 and I used it to kill my 1st deer with 31 years ago.









8x57 tang

With the 300 gr SAF's there's nothing here in North America you can't kill.

Ruger M77 mkII in 300 WM

I think there might be a Ruger or two in this picture.
And here is a target.

Todd

If you ever want to let go of that .375, PLEASE keep me in mind!!

Todd

Holy Sh....nice!

Rack-O-Rugers!

This one's cute.

358win all weather and target. It's been wearing a Leupold VX2 3-9x40 German #4 for a few years now.



I'd love to add a short 44mag to my line up.

Very nice. However, that looks like a Nikon monarch UCC scope.... I like the colors of the stock too..

Any idea what this one weighed with no scope on it?
Did you like the ergos of that stock?

I'm thinking of going that exact direction.

Left to right

Excellent line up there. I love the laminated stocked Ruger 77's. Very nice collection...

a fairly rare #1 in .475 Turnbull:



#1 Liberty in .270



a Cabelas .30-40 #1A

308 lefty Scout. Just a beater/ truck rifle with a too heavy a can, but fun to shoot 125 BT's with.

A 475 Turnbull. Holy sledge hammers Batman! Those are some beautiful #1s you have there. I had one in 6mm Rem years ago. It was my walking varmint rig with a 10X Leupold on her. Coupled with a M700 BDL Varmint in the same caliber I had the woodchuck business down pat. Gotta love a nice #1.

I don't have any pics of either of my M77 MKII rifles available, but here's some other Rugers I own.

I only do #1's in Ruger. Never really liked the 77.

Here is my 264 Win Mag

Wow - that's porn for sure!

Well it was going great until the boat paddles! My eyes!!!! LOL


It is like watching nude swimsuit models and someone sneaking in a picture of Hillary nude!

That stock reminds me of my .218 Bee - guess you could call it "flame burl"

Very correct. Straight 4x Nikon that won't adjust anymore. Turn the knobs, no shift in impact at all. Still sitting on my bench waiting for me to get motivated enough to send back to Nikon for a fix. Thanks for the complements, painted the stock myself.

Holy sheep [bleep] Fotis! That just may be the nicest #1 I've ever seen. And that's saying something as there are a bunch of beautiful #1s out there. B-damn-utiful!

Thank you sir!

My newest Ruger.

Only one thing I can say here........

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyz21LVPYaQ

Far left, M77 22-243 Ackley. McMillan Hunter stock. 1/8 Wilson barrel. Started life as a boat paddle .243 Win.

Far Right, M77 Tang Safety 270 WSM. BC Thumbhole stock. Krieger barrel. Started life as a 7mm Rem Mag.

This is my kind of internet porn!

Admittedly, they are not for everyone. But they are great shooters, reasonably lightweight and about as indestructible as you can make a rife. I like them - a lot.

I worked up some elk hunting fodder for a hunting buddy a couple years ago. He uses a boat paddle as well in 300 WM. I was skeptical I must admit. That thing ended up clover leafing 180gr Hornady Spire Points! A healthy charge of RL22 and that baby started to drill some nice little groups. He has killed a couple elk with it since. I've been watching for a deal on one ever since.

#1 and target

I know that this isn't a 77 or #1, but to me it fits in a thread about Ruger porn...It's a Gold Label I have gotten kind of attached to. It needed something to cut down on the glare from the stainless steel used in the receiver, so I thought a little camouflage would be appropriate.

My favorite Rugers tend to be handguns. Here is a 44 special and a 22 LR that get used on a regular basis.

Built this one over 40years ago, and its still my favorite pistol. Showing lots of wear, but God knows how many rounds it has fired !! Has never been treated gently.

9.5X64 presently and perhaps someday will become a 375 Ruger.

That's gorgeous.

That is gorgeous...always wondered why more Rugers weren't customized.


not familiar with the 9.5 though....

Couple more to keep it going.

Ruger 77 MkII Magnum in 375 H&H.



77 MkII in the manliest of man cartridges.

I guess I may as well put my own up.

Beautiful Gold Label!

My tanger Whelen that I tweaked a bit. Nice relatively lightweight piece.



Pretty is as pretty does.

re finished a stock on 10/22 I got on eBay. nothing fancy but a lot nicer then original that I did with bed liner and got tired of the black.
Here is a 44 mag carbine. Hope I can get some blood on it one day.

That .44 Carbine is stunning Dre!

Here's my TacSol barreled slayer with a juvie groundhog my youngest son popped up at the Ranch last summer. Pftt-Flop!
[img:left][/img]

That is one sweet looking 264!!

Fotis, that is just another level of Whoa!

fubar, That is plain beautiful. I've been kicking around picking one up one of the .327 Fed's, myself. Love the non-fluted cylinder.

DETAILS?!?

Old Navy
ShortSleeve SlimFit (MEDIUM) 100% Cotton
Yellow N Purple Plaid
7 Button
Made in Bangladesh

Paid like $18...

I'm sure it's the tie he's referring to.

I guess if you are going to carry a fillet knife,drink PBR,and shop in the boys dept. You should have a good rifle .

Looks like that setup has treated you well.

Those are some good looking grips. What kind are those on that Single Ten?

Wow! That is gorgeous! Who did the engraving?

I made those grips for the Single Ten out of a piece of spalled maple I got at the Blade Show last year. I usually like darker wood but that piece just kind of struck me. I was going to make some knife handles out of it but the Single Ten needed nice grips more than any revolver I ever had. The other pair of grips, on my 44 special, are Bubinga.

Beautiful! The Gold Label is on my bucket list!

I only own one Ruger but it does come with a target.

Thanks for the comments on my Gold Label. I had the engraving done by Jim Small of Madison, GA. He does the engraving on the custom knives my brother and I make and I decided to give him a little challenge. The engraving is deep. I told him I wanted the blind to be able to appreciate it too. He is very talented and does great work.

Likely my favorite Ruger sixgun. This 44 Special.

Just too good a thread to let die. Here's my favorite upland shotgun. A sweet handling 28 gauge Red Label.

Just put it up in the fencepost thread, but this 9.3x63 African I bought from Luv2Safari is such a sweet handling rifle.

rugged, portable, powerful - a 416 Alaskan in a Tupperware stock along with a 22/77





and a new 416 Ruger African along side a 1907 vintage 404 Jeffery.



And my daughter with her 7 1/4 lb .375 Ruger

Great photos all.

My lame contribution from the film era:



2nd from top to bottom:

358 Win / 19" RS
7x57 / 77 RSI
250 Savage / 77 RSI
22lr / 77-22

Those bottom three make me wish I'd had more earning power back when they were just sitting on racks waiting to be purchased.

Quit teasing...............the RUG, we want to know about the RUG.

True enough... but the 7x57 was only 1/500 that were made. Ditto the 358 RS carbine.

Still pretty sure lots of money would have helped.

My turn.

A project in the works. Started life as a M77/17 Mach 2. Boyd Laminate stock with a Green Mountain 22LR Fluted barrel.



Ruger Hawkeye 25-06 in a Houge full bed stock



Custom 280 Remington tang safety

Ruger has always built classic rifles. Here is one of the new 416 African rifles compared with a 1907 vintage Jeffery 404. Power, weight, handling and balance are virtually identical.

The most great looking Rugers I have seen in a long time. I mean ever. I've got a few but nothing to compare with what I've seen here. Great stuff.

Here is a Hawkeye in 280 Rem I just got two days ago.

Looks quite a bit like the one I just got from CDNN. So far it's done the best with 150gr Ballistic tips over 7828. 3 shots in .800". Could live with that,but have to try to improve on it.

Otter, make sure the magazine box is floating when everything is tightened down. That is the number one thing that screws a Ruger in my opinion. If it isn't floating, deepen the grooves on the front and rear of the mag box with a file until it rattles around a little. It won't rattle once the floorplate is closed.
