Thread: Any Ruger guru’s about?

@Kelton My first new centrefire was a Ruger M77 in 270. I suppose it was a Mk 1? Bought it about 1981-ish for $434 from Sutherland Sports. Paid a deposit and took it home with a laybuy book and went to New Plymouth from Stratford every Friday night in my old Morris Minor to pay it off. Can't imagine doing that now.

A beautiful wooden stock rifle with a thin red recoil pad, accurate too. It was my most prized possession. My mum hit the roof because as I was only on about $55-60 a week as a butchery apprentice then. I eventually sold that rifle and still regret it to this day.....
