Lipsey's Ruger 77/22 22 Hornet African Released.

[Mark Biggerstaff]

Just laid my hands on the Lipseys Ruger 77 African 22 Hornet. It is sleek and slim, feels good in the hands.

Ok, so never had much interest in the Tiny 10 or the .22 Hornet….

But that rifle suddenly gives me expensive ideas!

 

[JimP]

Are those express sights? I like the look of that barrel band. That rifle reminds me of when Ruger put out the Tropical Rifles in the 70's and 80;s.

Beautiful rifle for a 22 Hornet. This will be a dumb question but what exactly is Lipsey’s? Do they special order certain rifles from Ruger to exclusively distribute? Or do they make semi-custom alterations to rifles?

Linsey’s is a distributor that sells to your local shop….the middle man!

Lipseys is a wholesale firearms distributor that sells to your local gunshop. They do limited exclusives from various manufactures. Ruger is there strong suit. They will contract Ruger for limited editions every year. The African series is one of them.

That is beautiful. The old 77/.22 hornets had some serious accuracy issues. I hope they have them sorted with this lovely little rifle.

 

[Green Chile]

That's a good looking rifle. When someone gets a chance to shoot one, let us know!

 

[375er]

Ok Mark! How much fer??

 

[Goat416]

Looks like MSRP will be $1,429

Lipsey's Exclusive Ruger 77/22 22 Hornet

I’ve been looking for a 22 hornet. That looks like a winner! I’ve seen some CZ but unlike most I don’t particularly care for them but I have several Rugers and like them.

 

[AZDAVE]

I have one of the older ones that shoot very well. Like the looks of this one better than mine.

i have used and abused a 77/.22 hornet over 20 years. mine love 45 grain barnes, 13 gr lilgun. that rifle is tempting.

 

[Monski]

I have one and it seems to be a shooter so far. The group at 100 yards with a 2-7 scope and with win factory 45 grain sp. I noticed some have red pads and some black. Wish mine was red.

@Monski, that may be the best looking out of the box Ruger I’ve seen!

 

[Monski]

Although when nib, the bolt hardly fit and handload dummy rounds wouldn't chamber and with factory rounds the bolt had to be hit open. After some lapping compound and at least 1000 bolt cycles, all is functioning well. Pics of the bolt with much blueing wear on the multiple friction points because of this.

Thank you. The wood finish is darker in person. The flash pic looks a bit nicer. No complaints though.

 

[Mekaniks]

Thanks for sharing. Nice looking rifle for sure...

I know nothing about Ruger #1, is $2400 a fair price?

 

[375er]

Seems steep to me.
