I just recieved a Ruger M77 in exchange for knocking some cash off of a demo and kitchen remodel bid for my uncle. I know it was bought mid 90's and is in real good condition, Id say 95-99 percent. Has iron sights and is chambered in 7mm rem mag.
All the iron sight rifles are discontinued, with exception of the big bore African game rifles- so you did good!
Looks like a new Hawkeye is @ $540...
I can remember when a good price on a Ruger M77 was $399, and that wasn't that long ago! Those things went up- way up!
