I'm clearing out some room in the safe and wrangling funds for my first trip to Africa next year, so a few things must unfortunately go. Up first is a 1977-ish production, pre-warning, Ruger M77 tang safety model in .280 Remington. I've owned the rifle for approximately 15 years and it pretty much just lives in the safe, so it's time to move it along.
Pictures reflect condition - it shows some hunting and safe wear, but clearly hasn't been abused in its nearly 50 years of existence. I tried to show the stock blemishes as best I was able. The metal is quite clean with the exception of muzzle wear and a ding at same, however not near the bore. Factory bottom metal shows probably the worst, with some scratches and finish missing. Otherwise, the bluing is exceptionally deep and well polished, with its few markings clear and crisp. The stock appears to be professionally glass bedded and free floated, and the trigger is excellent. The original 1" rings are included with the rifle.
I have fired this rifle probably 100 times since I've owned it, and was able to get 140 grain BT and Accubond handloads to group consistently around 1 to 1.25 MOA. I can send load data with the rifle if needed but I don't think I did anything groundbreaking.
Asking $900 plus shipping/insurance to you. I can accept check, zelle, USPS money order, cash, precious metals, possibly even trades for the right thing.
I realize that I am somewhat new here, and that being a first-time seller on this forum I am subject to extra scrutiny - I get it. I am happy to discuss on the phone, show the rifle in person, or send additional photos as needed. I'm located in northern Wyoming if any locals would like to do a FTF transaction.
