Back in 1992, I bought a Ruger M77 in a skeletonized stock. 7mm Mag. At the same time my brother bought a a Winchester Classic Stainless in .308 in a walnut stock.

After shooting his and hunting that year, I was determined to get a walnut stock so I bought a M77 stock from Ruger and traded out the stock. I trashed the skeletonized one….nobody wants that piece of junk. I literally tossed it in the trash.

IMO, I had the first SS in M77 in Walnut from Ruger, 2 years later they offered it in that version. Am I wrong?
