so was I ;). the m77 wood stock is easily the worst ever, right behind the birch savage.

It must be the luck of the draw, I have a 77MK1 with a wood stock that would rival a Winchester super grade. With that said I don't have a hunting rifle that isn't synthetic.
Bigshooter:
The only thing a m77 is good for is a boat anchor.  Have looked at a few hawkeyes though and have to admit they look and feel pretty nice.  Am considering buy one in the new 375.

Just got one in .358 Win. before moving west.  Only shot about 1/2 box of shells through it.  Only one real complaint is the tiny safety has sharp edges.  Not real condusive to fast work or thick gloves.  Feeds well, shoots well, I'm pleased with all but that one little thing.  

Just MHO, but Ruger bolt actions are work horses, not show ponies.  Thick?  Yes.  Ugly? Probably.  Reliable? Almost always.

God Bless,
