For sale Ruger M77 Boat Paddle 30 06 in very good condition. I bought this here on the fire and it's just been safe sitting ever since. I have a ruger box but it's not the original. Scope is not for sale. 1" & 30mm rings will go with the sale.

$750 shipped.

Thanks

I can send more pics if needed.

This will be gone today. Awesome price compared to what they are going for.

If you have been remotely looking for one of these, you better pull the trigger fast.

Need to un-see this.....

bump for someone to snatch it up

Hey JCM, This the one you sold in December?

I paid $700 here when I bought it and we did a face to face so no shipping at that time, just figure I'll break even now with shipping. Seemed fair.

Well....I don't remember selling one in December.... If it is, I've killed to many brain cells in the last 3 months!

one heck of a rifle for sure, I have the 270...surprisingly, very accurate!

Everything I've read about these so far is very positive. This is a very fair price from looking on GB, GA & GI.
I am so very tempted to get but I have more 30-06's than I need now. Hate passing up a good deal though....

Tempting. I just bought this me of these. If only it was a 270 or 7 mag.... free bump!

If it was in 7Mag I'd be all over it. GLWS

I’ll take it.

Sold to Dirtfarmer. Thanks

I'm glad you .270, 7RM guys passed on this one, gave me a shot at it.

I have those, like them. Even have '06's. But this one will serve me well. I'm mounting a Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40 Duplex, green dot.

This combo will be perfect in a woods setting, hunting WT's and hogs from a stand.

I failed to ask the OP about the trigger, now bad it was. Those triggers can be a bit rough. But, I can fix that if it's an issue.

From the condition of the outside, and being SS, I think I know about how the bore will look thru the Hawkeye.

Gun nuts love projects.

Thanks JBB111.

Edited to add, I'm going to keep the sling loops, not retrofit studs. I think a 1 1/4" M1 Carbine sling will work. The way it attaches, I can pop it off the front stirup for bench rest. I want to keep the boat paddle stock as is, not mess it up.

And, the '06 is one of the most versatile rounds out there. I'm loading 200 NPT's over H-4831 at 2,650 fps and have for a long time used 125 NAB's and 130 gr. Horn at 3,100 fps for WT's. And I've shot about everything in between. The boring ole '06 isn't really that boring, at least not for me..

Well it's no benchrest trigger but it does break consistently right at 5.5 lbs according to my scale. I've seen much worse. The bore should look pretty good, I did not bore scope it but cleaned it up when I got it. I think the whitetails in your neck of the woods will be in serious trouble come Fall.

Best of luck and keep me posted once you get it. I received the FFL via email last evening.

Thanks

Should work great for you. I agree, the 30-06 is an exceptional all around multipurpose round. If you know the load and it's characteristics she will never let you down.

DF-

Please do a write up on this as you are dialing in. It's always interesting when you take something and " tweak " it.......

Thanks,
Razorhog

That took all of 2 1/2 hours to sell.

Thank you Dirtfarmer for buying this and removing the temptation for me to.

If it had been still available now, I'm not sure I'd have been able to resist.

No, thank you.

I will write it up.

I've been reading tutorals on the M-77 Mk II trigger.

I have a box of Brownell springs I've had for years, don't think I'll need an Ernie spring, will find one in that collection that will work. I'll probably do an epoxy bump for overtravel, using JB Weld or Acraglas Gel. I can hone the sear surfaces without messing them up, have Arkansas hard stones and 1,500 grit sand paper.

That 5.5# trigger will be a clean and smooth 3# when I'm done. Don't think I'll need to spend a dime, just some time.

Look forward to working with it; will report.

DF

Have you seen this write up on the 77 mk2 trigger?

http://centerfirecentral.com/77trigger.html

http://centerfirecentral.com/77trigger2.htm

Mine went from 5.5 to 2 3/4 #.

Yep.

I had already printed those up.

Also have watched some You Tube MkII trigger jobs.

I've done harder, more complicated trigger jobs. That one looks to be pretty straight forward.

DF

This sketch shows what you really need to know:

I got that one, too. It's the easiest to read and will be the main one I'm going to use.

I'm thinking a blob of JB Weld at the right spot, filed to fit for over travel is the way to go. That's covered in other info. A You Tube poster did a spot weld, but JB's should do as well and I don't have a TIG set up. His looked prettier, but mine should work.

Removing sear engagement down to .20" or .15" shouldn't be that hard, Of course, check more, cut less... Or as old time carpenters love to say, measure twice, cut once. Polishing certain surfaces shouldn't that difficult.

Looks pretty straight forward, overall.
