First rifle!

[C-Money]

$600 out the door is a pretty good deal! Good scope, and great rifle, you are set!  You shoot it yet? How is it grouping?

[Stickerbush]

well I shot it and it grouped pretty close together, I wasnt using a solid rest though. Just a pillow, but they were within a few inches apart. But its hard to tell as I have only shot rifles a few times in my life. I'll probably use a better rest next time or shoot prone

try a lead sled i use one for sighting before i practice off hand it really helps alot.

[Stickerbush]

nice

I use a lead sled too. They are worth the $$!

Re opening this topic, want to see about updating the trigger on this rifle. Any advice on how to do this? Or even determining if it needs this? Just looking to make it as accurate as possible

Most likely you'll want to upgrade that trigger, I can't remember anybody ever saying they had a factory M77 MKII with a crisp and light trigger.
I ground and polished my trigger and sear in my m77 mkii's, right now it sits at 3lbs, but if i were to do it again I would just buy a Timney or Rifle Basix aftermarket trigger, much easier!

Is that something I can safely do myself or should I have someone do it

Pretty easy swap, just follow the directions.

I stoned the triggers in several of my personal M77's and I'm happy with the way they came out but if you need a Ruger trigger spec-tech is the guy to get them from. Made right here in Washington, easy to follow directions also:

How do I measure my current trigger? Are stock triggers adjustable?

Trigger swap is easy. Lots of YouTube videos on it as well. Next step will be reloading.  It is cheaper per round but won't save you any money!  You will just shoot way more often.

Stock triggers are non-adjustable . You will need to buy or find someone who has a trigger pull gauge. Your stock trigger I can almost guarantee is atleast 5.5lbs.

  if not 9-11lbs. Some factory triggers are adjustable. I'm don't know about the rugers but rem and weatherby triggers can be adjusted. Tho IMHO they are still junk.

Love my timeny triggers.  Right at 2lbs it will surprise ya every time  which is how it should be
