Yet another price check: Ruger M77 30-06 with...
Leupold 3x9, Leupold rings/bases. Other than that, I don't have info. I am going to check out the rifle over my lunch hour. The buyer wants $495. Is $450 realistic?

Thanks

If its in nice shape thats fair. If its beat up, your paying way to much.

I just picked up a Leupold Vari-x II 3x9 for $180. Deduct that from the $500 and you are getting a pretty inexpensive rifle, IF It checks out safety and bore-wise. I might even ask to shoot it first if you are unsure about the person selling but otherwise go for it.

I generally buy nothing but used old model Ruger 77's and Leupold glass. I recently purchased three Ruger 77's, all either ANIB or NIB, all "flat bolt" models, with all boxes and papers for $165 each.

In addition I purchased a "Centennial" model Ruger, NIB, for $175.

As for used Leupold glass, I bought, at the same time, a 3x9, a 1x4, two 2.5x8's, a 4x12, and two 4.5x14's for a total of $575. All ANIB and unmounted.

You won't find these kinds of deals in a store, like everything else enjoyable in life, you have to go "hunting" for them...and then take your best shot.

Put me down for a few of them Rugers. I'll give you $275 apiece for the flat bolts if you want to sell them and they're in the condition you describe.

I'd also like an UL 77 MKI in 257R, a standard 77 in 280 Remington, and any other esoteric 77s you might be able to get a hold of.



Realistically, in my neck of the woods, a 77 MKI in excellent shape sells for $300-$350, sometimes slightly more for calibers that were special runs or made in very low numbers.



You find any you don't want my email address is

bchannell@charter.net

At them prices, I'd need a couple of more, much bigger gun safes.



As for the scopes, if they're like new, they're easily worth $175-$200 for a Leupy 3-9X, just check out Ebay and see what they sell for. I'll take all you got.

I don't buy the old Rugers for resale...I work-up a load for them and then put them away...

Hell, I still have some of the original No.1's with the vertical rings...you know the ones I am talking about...the ones that came with beautiful wood...
