Nothing new about this ole rifle ,one of first Ruger M77s .243 bought must have been 1979-80, been sitting neglected in the safe for many years, but had a lot of use in the day.
I remember it suddenly started spraying shots all over the place like 3 or 4 inches at a hundred yds so stopped using it.
Recently i pulled it out wondering what to do with it, gave the bore a bloody good scrub and thought the bore doesnt look toooo!!! bad haha,and so wondered if the crown had been damaged.
I had an inch cut off the barrel and re crowned and using some Federal blue box 100gr ammo i was very pleased to see a group of around 1.5 inches at hundred mtrs, certainly good enough for point and shoot hunting. Scope is a similar vintage Leupold vari x II 2-7 .
So now i am keen to take the ole girl out and bag a deer with her. Cheers
