old school ruger m77 22-250 buy or not to buy

[shawnb]

A friend of mine has a ruger m77 22-250 for sale with a leaupold 6.5-20,blued barrel and wood stock with a harris bipod and custom trigger all in perfect condition. He wants 600 bucks for it.Is that a good deal?

[littlebuf]

not the deal of a lifetime but a good gun for a good price and if you know the guy and know it was taken care of then theres really no risk.

I love the tang safety Rugers, if its all in good shape sounds like a decent deal.

[woodswalker]

if that is in good shape, I love the old tang safety Rugers, then get it.

[actionshooter]

I'll take it if you don't want it. 

[Bulldozer]

Looks like a good deal to me.

[ing]

Buy it.

I would peek at the throat with a borescope or shoot it first......they can eat a throat up bad and that means another 300bux in work. tang safety rugers are sweet.........heavy, but sweet

[shawnb]

Does anybody have an idea what the guns worth. It does have a lot of extras and is in perfect condition.

[Galpster]

The scope is a $350 scope on ebay right now so not a bad deal if the gun shoots good.

Does anybody have an idea what the guns worth.

$600 if you buy it

Shawn.
The rifle in good shape is worth around $300. in like new shape $350.
The scope is worth about $350.
Not a smoking deal but a fair one, if your looking to get a varmit rifle then its a good deal.
Ask the usual questions, how it shoots, what ammo is likes, round count, if it was shot hot or not.

Shawn.
If you buy this rifle in 22-250 and dies,etc.
Your going to learn how to trim brass.
Not a big deal but 22-250 brass stretches enough that you'll have to trim after a couple of firings.

[shawnb]

the guy i was going to buy from jumped the price up to 800 after talking to another friend of his now i'm starting to reconsider.

[huntnphool]

No way would I pay that, $600 was a decent deal for both parties, $800 is a joke.
