Ruger M77 Compact

Have you ever considered something like Cerakote on the stainless to get rid of the bright, shining look. Or camo duct tape:)

RugerFan no I I have not considered an alteration to the two Rugers I have in bright Stainless. I have not found this to hinder my hunting activity in any way. I have a lot of trophies on the wall that have fallen to the #1 in 300 WinMag.

Very nice looking rifle and it has the correct color of scope too!:) Very nice gun rack/ Black Wildebeest too.

I've read where the dull, bead blasted stainless that is common now is a cheaper finish for rifle makers, but the marketing guys put the spin on about being lower glare, etc. Rifle makers have even moved away from the highly polished blued finish to the matte finishes.
 
That's really nice Charlie! Both the rifle and the thought behind it.
 
Thanks Royal.

This one is mine in 308 that was built in bright stainless! It's a great deer rifle and I wouldn't hesitate to hunt plains game with it.

Most of my hunts are solo — just me, my rifle, and a good map. Sometimes I tag along with an old buddy for a week in Zimbabwe or South Africa, but more often than not, it’s just me.
Big fan of classic hunting — bolt-action rifles, old-school tracking, and taking the time to really be in the moment.
Just did a podcast, check it out if interested!
