I recently passed my M77 MK II in 300 Win Mag down to my youngest son.  He will be using it for elk this November. Getting it really made him happy but not as happy as I am by giving it to him.

Thanks for the video

I own several M77s. I would buy a used M77 before a new anything. Just my opinion . The quality and fit are better

I'm almost 60 yrs old now. When I was a kid I picked up a M77 in .243 topped off with a fixed 4 power Redfield for $200 at a Pawnshop. Still to this day its my favorite rifle.

My 77 is a 30-06 tang safety from around 1980, no sights, scope only,it’s been a good gun over the years. I don’t know about new ones, but I’m happy with mine.

I own an M77 Mark II, in 7mm Rem Mag.  I like it so far.  I think it is a good rifle to add to any collection.  I want to get out west with it one day.  I like buying rifles, owning rifles, and talking about rifles.

Hey DD.  Can't beat the timeliness of this video. Been wanting an M77 since I was a teenager. Just bought an M77 Hawkeye standard left hand in .30-06.  I feel like I found a needle in a haystack.  Great video.

I’ve got one in 300 win mag and 7mm rem mag! I absolutely love Ruger m77 rifles

One of the most informative videos I’ve seen on the Ruger M77

I purchased my first rifle a week or so after turning 18, a tang saftey M77 in .270 grouped about 1-1/4 for me. Still have a soft spot for the tang saftey models to this day. Enjoyed your video!

I have two tang safety M77s, a standard in 30-06 that I bought in 1981 and an International Carbine in 243. The 30-06 has accounted for a lot of game over the years.

I NEVER buy new Ruger Firearms! I do buy used Ruger Firearms. My first Ruger M77 was an M77RS Tang Mounted Safety in 7mm Remington Magnum & was recommended by a Jack O'Connor article. Andy Bischoff (one of Ray Chapman's gunsmiths and one of the  the Rich Greiner group) took a shine to it so I had to replace it in '89 which was when Bill Ruger started his Magazine Limit/Ban Nonsense (he  was Severely Boo'ed at the Shot Show in L.V.).  But I got lucky and purchased the almost new Tang Safety M77R that had trigger work done on it from a disgruntled owner that was selling off all of his Ruger firearms. I sent it in for the recall and put a Nikon scope on it, it has given me superb service!

Exceptionally well done presentation! This answered every question I ever had about the Ruger M77 rifle.

Bought an M77 in '83 chambered in 257 Roberts.  What a sweet shooting, deadly accurate rifle.  Sold it to a good friend that absolutely had to have it and offered more than I had invested int eh rifle, scope, case, etc.  I have regretted selling it ever since.

“This is the last rifle”
I believe many people have said before. Awesome

Great rifle, many people do not know that the m77, m77 mark ll, and hawkeye are among the strongest, hardest mass produced factory bolt action recievers ever made. Many people had issues making them shoot because theres things they didn't understand with the middle action screw binding the action, the mag binding if it wasnt ground enough to have wiggle room, and how to properly tighten them in the stock. I became a gunsmith/rifle builder off the m77 tang saftey. If you understand the trigger and take it apart and work it you can make it very good and thats coming from a guy with two jewell triggers in two benchrifles set under 2ounce pull weight. I have an m77 that is my custom 30" barreled 264win long range hunting rifle and it rivals both my 6xc and 7saum benchrifles in how well it preforms

I have a 1971 Ruger M77 7mm Mag (Tang Safety) that I inherited from my father.  It's in great shape!  Was watching your video on its history and learned about the recall.  Contacted Ruger and they mailed me the replacement set screw in less than 1 week.  Just changed it out.  Easy job.  Thank you.  Now I need to go to the range and zero in the rifle.

I just got one. I’m so excited to learn how to hunt. Always wanted to when I heard about other kids hunting when I was younger. I wanna teach my son how to hunt deer and moose.

To me, the Ruger M77 Hawkeye is the greatest hunting rifle ever made. Rugers casting is extremely strong.

I absolutely love the time and effort that you put into your videos.  I always stay till the end.
As soon as I seen the title.. I was like this is going to be a great one!  Definitely impressive and educational.. thank you sir.. much appreciated!
