Title: Ruger M77 ?
Post by: catwithboost on October 29, 2008, 06:13:02 PM: I have a guy that wants to trade me a Ruger M77 MarkII 270 with very nice wide grain wood stock with a leupold II 3-9x40 scope. Any idea what they are worth and are they any good. He wants my Howa 243 for his daughter.

I have several M77 rifles. I retrigger the new models and also bed them. They have a stiffer action than Remingtons.

Post by: catwithboost on October 29, 2008, 07:39:29 PM: Thanks that is the stock that is on it. So with the VXII leupold it is worth around $500?

Post by: huntnphool on October 29, 2008, 07:48:13 PM: Big10, do you do your own work? I have a stainless 7mm I want to put on a laminated stock and bed, any help would be appreciated

Post by: Big10gauge on October 29, 2008, 07:55:22 PM: Cat, IMO That gun wil probably end up selling for around 400 to 450, the scope's about what you said if you bought it separately.

Huntnphool, Yes I restock and bed my own, in fact I just finished a M77 .243 vt with a boyds stock,basik trigger and I used Acraglas. It's going to be my longer range coyote gun. I would be happy to answer any questions about it.

You would think her father would know what she could carry or not :dunno:

Post by: catwithboost on October 29, 2008, 08:18:39 PM: I have seen this rifle and it is mint not a scratch or ding on it. My friend owns is own contruction company and makes his girl help during the summer they are no little priss girls. :chuckle: I figured I would make out on this since the Howa 1500 or cheaper then a Savage. But he is not worried about the price.

IMO $600.00 would be top dollar. All depends on how bad you want to trade. Scopes usually don't reflect their full value when already on a gun.
