I saw an ad posted at the shooting range Sunday. A guy is selling what he describes as a Ruger M77 MKII stainless in 30-06. It has a Simmons 3-9x40 (I believe) on it and the asking price is $475. The photo shows a nice, stainless Ruger with the black synthetic stock - the kind of stock where it's "dished out" with the "Ruger" logo inside the "dished" portion. Is that what people refer to as "boat paddle" stocks?
Anyway, I've looked in Ruger's catalog and can never find a rifle with one of those stocks. And the MKII rifles are all laminated wood stocks. Is it possible the rifle is an M77 Hawkeye? THe ad says he's selling it because the recoil is a bit much, and he's already bought a .243 which suits him better. He says the rifle only has a couple of boxes of ammo through it. I've called the fellow but we haven;t been able to get together where I can see the rifle yet.
The price sure seems right. What do you all think? ANd what are some things I might look out for when examining the rifle?
