I had an M77 UL tang safety with red pad when I was a boy. I sold it in my 20’s. I came across one today and I liked it. Walnut stock with typical bumps and impressions in stock. The bluing is in great shape.
What’s a decent price on a rifle like this?
Regards, Nick- Georgia

$800-1000 IMHO. I have one in 30-06 that's my go to deer rifle if I'm wandering around the woods.

Caliber?
'06 is going to bring considerably less than say a 257 Roberts.

The RL and RLS Ruger carbines have become quite desirable. If it's clean, it would probably fetch $1,200 or so in 270, more in rarer calibers.

Hammer price quotes are my favorite. I have yet to understand the math involved in them, but they’re always entertaining

Anything under a grand is a "decent" price for the 77's nowadays. About 6-7 years ago, I passed on a like new 30-06 (not UL) for $400, only because I have more 06's than I can shoot. They're beautiful rifles.
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled guns yearning to shoot free, The wretched refuse of your teeming safes and gun racks.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door of my workbench.

I've got one in .250-3000, and wouldn't take $1500 for it. It's an absolute joy to carry in the woods. I had one in .257 Roberts with the prettiest wood I've ever seen on one and got in a pinch and had to sell it. Fiddleback from nose to tail, both sides. I'd give $1400 to $1600 to get it back.
I think a nice M77 RL in .270 would bring around $900 to $1200, depending on condition and wood.
Bring enough gun and know how to use it.
