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.

I connect hunters with trusted outfitters, taxidermists, and agents in South Africa, with personal attention and clear, reliable info. I value honesty, good communication, and strong relationships—making sure every connection I make is solid and worthwhile.

Hi Marcus
I'll 2nd limcroma! Booked 2nd trip at SCI last week. Those guys are great. Trying to get hooked up with Peter when he gets to the states if I can break away.

What sling studs do those swivels fit ? They look to be quite a bit wider than the standard modern swivels. They may be just what I need for my Remington 30 Express wide swivel studs. Can you measure the pin diameter ?

Do you know where your .240 Weatherby was manufactured?
