Didn't someone here buy one the other day? I saw one in a pawn shop and the price seemed reasonable.

Tough to find, I'd grab it. Last one I saw sold for over $450.00 in okay, to very good condition.
All the bitchin' on this site 'bought "boat paddles" doesn't align with what's in demand. ANY short-action Zytel-stocked Ruger sells for bookoo bucks, and that includes the 77/22.

Did they ever make those with irons? I'd snap one up in a sec. Swampy, are you seriously considering a RUGER!? They're playing hockey in Hell!
It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...

He wanted $329.95 but he said he'd take "a lot less" if I bought it outright. It had a cheap Tasco scope on it.

There are a couple of used 77/22 all weathers on the used rack of the local cabelas in Boise - they want around $520 for them....So I'd grab one for $330 if I saw one.

Tom

I got it for $299.95 with a sling, Tasco 22RF scope, and an extra magazine. The trigger pull is heavy.

If that trigger gets ta buggin' ya too much - I know how you can make a quick profit, just sell me the rifle. Excellent grab.

I feeds real slick and dime size groups with Remington Thunder Bolts seem to be the norm. I didn't even have to adjust the scope.

Hey Swampman700. The boatpaddles have always appealed to me and recently I ran into a NIB 10/22. I couldn't resist and brought it home. Mounted a 4x and sighted it in today. Shoots 3/4" @ 75ft. which works for me. Bought a Zombie poster and my 6yo grandson put 3 out of 4 into his head. LOL Fun, light, tough little work gun. DMc

I've owned one for some years, great rifle. Picked it up at a gun show/swap meet, traded a Lee Enfield in tough shape and $200. Came with a Weaver K3, too. Previous owner had tuned the trigger and did a sweet job of it, I'd guess about 2.5 lbs and breaks like glass. Extremely smooth action, can't beat that rotary clip. $300 is a steal for one of these! Enjoy!

Before I was comfortable working on my own Ruger Triggers, I had bought the Volquartsen for my 77/22 mag (boat paddle) and it made a WORLD of difference.

I normally just replace the trigger spring, it's a very easy job with good results...............Hb
