Ruger 77/17 Hornet

[Rick in Oregon]

Well, it's finally here, at least on the Ruger website:

http://www.ruger.com/products/rotaryMag ... odels.html

Only one stock option to start with, but I'm sure that will change. Sure has been a long wait...wonder how long till we see them available?

Rick,

I spoke with CZ a month or so ago and they will have it out in the Dec/Jan time frame on their 527 American/Varmint models.

[bazz]

There is one for sale on gunbroker it only has about 14 hrs left. Thought bout swooping it up but never had very good luk with ruger accuracy. Think ill wait for the cz

I'll have one on the way tommorow. I really can't like the GM plywood handle. If you know of a walnut 77/22 Hornet stock that somebody has, please lemme know. thanks, Don.

Let us know how she shoots. I sure do like the looks of the ruger but still nobody has convinced me of their out of the box shooting capabilities. Hopefully you change my mind. I sure would like to have one.

well whats it shoot like you cant just tease us like that give us a review please cheers bazz

[huntsman22]

It shoots acceptabley. Will tweek with handloads and trigger work....

Got it on my 100 yd gong and went to paper. Was going to do a 10 shot group, but the first three were low/left. 3 clicks over and up, and then the next seven. Group climbed a tad with the last 4 touching.



stuck on a dot for the last 3 rounds. first was center, next 2 hi.....



The trigger breaks nice, no creep, but heavy.....



couple random pics.







Went to the prairie dog town to try it out. Overcast with a storm coming, and nothing was out. Maybe next week, on critters. Don

drew first blood......

Looks like you are having fun! Best thing is you can hide it in plain site if you put it on your' couch
