Was at my favorite LGS the other day and they had a Ruger 77/44 Stainless/Synthetic with a Leupold 2-7 that is identical to my 77/22 mag.
Same scope.
For $700 I couldn't pass it up
Michigan is one of those retard states that has a straight wall rule for the southern portion. Cheap way to get into the straight wall game for the few times I hunt down there and don't feel like using a muzzle loader.
