What new Ruger would you like to see in a limited special run?

[Doug3006]

Yup. It was expensive to produce. Same reason Colt discontinued the Python. Then they figured out that folks would pay considerably more for one than they thought! So now they make them again.

One of our esteemed members has an excellent one listed in the classified section for $3,900. That kinda coin is what prime RSMs go for….heck, it’s actually a bargain. So maybe that’s enough to tempt Ruger. I dunno.

338-06 AI in a model 77 (not African) I would scope it and shoot with a can. I would buy the first one! I have a model 77 in 338WM. Also have a M70 with a 22in proof barrel in 338.06AI. With my hand loads the 338-06AI performance is on par with the 338WM as far as velocity. The 338-06AI shoots better groups.

Thsi right here. In stainless/synthetic or lami stock. (I love beautiful wood and bluing, but I want to spend more time shooting then cleaning/maintaining)

Didn't ruger say they were losing money on that product line?

Perhaps with a limited run of something special as suggested they could put the price where it would be profitable.

77 African in 370 SAKO/9.3x66

I think 7x57 or .275 would get to 50 pretty easily as well.

After posting my desire and browsing through the responses yes. That or a 30-06 seems to be the most tangible so far.

I’d really like to see the M77 offered in something above the 416 Ruger.

Whether that be a new proprietary 458/500 Ruger cartridge (wishful thinking) or a 458WM or 500 Jeffery.

458 win mag would be a drop in. Just a different reamer and broach. Its a bit of a head scratcher why they haven't offered it. They're allowing winchester to completely corner the sub-$2000 big bore market.

As I said...The more I think about this one the more I like it...

my guess is as with all decisions companies make that are for profit is that it's such a small segment of buyers that will buy something like that it's not worth their time.

.375 h and h in a 77 African.

1. A Number One in .500 NE. and .50-110 Winchester with 25 inch barrel with threaded muzzle.

2. Something really new would be proper quality control on their bolt actions but maybe I am asking
too much.
