Bad News: Ruger has pulled it from their website. It might be the end of the line.

Good News: The recent run (250) of Stainless 7x57's for Lipsey's has hit the market.

That'll be a damn shame if they discontinue that line, although I always thought they would have made a better model if they had used a 20" barrel instead of 18½".

I've always liked the little rifle, but thought they should have been chambering it for European cartridges (6.5x54, 6.5x57, 7x57, 7x64, 8x57, etc).

I'd love one in 8X57

Ruger made a non-cataloged run of tang safety 77 RSIs in 7x57 about 20 years ago. I have 1 that is NIB that I bought in 1996.

There are currently some Lipsey's stainless 77 RSI MK2s in 7x57 floating around for $800+/-. If you want 1, you'd better jump, as the number made is being cited as 250.
