Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ruger 77 in 257 Roberts

Well I got the rifle back today. The gunsmith charged me $35. for removing the case, $30. for detail cleaning the rifle and $40. for test firing the rifle. Does this seem about right? I know he had to buy a box of ammo to test fire the rifle so that may have been a bargain. At any rate I put the scope back on it and had it sighted in 1 inch high at 100 yards in 4 shots. This using an old box of Federal red box 117 grain +P I found at a gunshop, the only ammo he had for a 257. Seems like an accurate rifle. I ordered 4 boxes of 110 grain Accubond 257 ammo loaded by Pendelton ammunition from Grafs. Good price also as it's on clearance. I have 16 rounds of the Federal ammo left so I could shoot something with it when I go hunting.
