So...does anyone know if any 77's were shipped from the factory with sights AND were D &T'ed? This particular one is in 30/06 and has a bi-centennial barrel.

PS...If I have already posted this question, forgive me as I tried to post it last night but I can't find it today. But, my internet was messing up last night so not sure if it made it or not.


I have had more than one Ruger ST, and they are in fact drilled and tapped from the factory, as is the PL. As stated above, they take the same mounts as a Remington 700.
