Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Ruger M_77 Tanger

I've had 5. They were all really good shooters. I think my favorites were the 270 that was in the B&C stock, and the 30-06 that was in a factory laminate. It was a very nice rifle and extremely accurate. I remember the 300wm tanger I had was very accurate too, but was missing a small section of rifling about 3/4 of the way down the barrel. It still shot well though.

The one 270 in the wood stock was the round top, and it shot very well:

My gripes were the weight. I preferred my model 70 featherweight over the 270 tanger, so sent that one down the road. The only one I wish I still had was the first 30-06 tanger I owned. The bluing was deep and dark and perfect. That is one thing Ruger really specialized in back then.
