Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Ruger M_77 Tanger

I have two.
A M77V from the mid ‘70’s in .220 swift. It has a Canjar single set trigger and is very accurate with 50 to 55 gr bullets. Likes 52 gr Sierra bullets the best. It is a heavy bugger and is not a walk around rifle. Like JB said it would be better with a faster twist barrel.
Also a M77 round top in .30-06 that I bought just for the wood. A very nice rife that is very accurate with 180 gr Nosler BT bullets like most 06 rifles. It has taken several deer and I enjoy just shooting it.
Here is a couple of pictures, the .30-06 has shot bigger deer but this shows the the wood off the best. It’s quite nice in person.
