Ruger 77 Prices ?

Have ruger 77 rifles gone up lately?

Whats the average fair price right now for a walnut/blue 77 rifle?How hard is it to have iron sites installed on one?I dont think the factory will do it anymore or supply parts,they want the serial numbers and stuff.....

Are the old tang safety models really that much better than the new ones?

Since winchesters m70s are gone i guess ruger will be higher priced,do you think so?

You can pick up a nice used Ruger M77 for anywhere from $400 to $500 without much trouble. They're good dependable rifles. The older M77's with tang-safety had adjustable triggers and were somewhat better in the trigger department than the MkII's, but a Timney trigger is easy to add and cheap.

.22 LR Ruger M77/22
30-06 Ruger M77/MkII
.375 H&H Ruger RSM

I don't know about down there but up here it's Remington that I've noticed going up lately.

Well guys, the ugly truth is that everybodys prices have gone up. If you're looking to get a new rifle, you'll have to shop around to find the best price. Around here, Sportsmans Warehouse sells the M77/MKII's for $464 and change, and Walmart sells them for $477 and change. That's obviously before the horid 8.6% sales tax that Wa. hammers us with.

Best of luck finding a rifle.

Idaho_elk...... $389, thats a good deal. Can you give me the name of that dealer.

Standard wood/blue Rugers have been about $490 around hear for a couple years (upstate NY). Prior to Winchester announcing the closing, Ruger had announced an increase of about $20. That seems to be what they are now in the %10 to 520 range. I just picked up a new 257 rob and paid $500 but have dealt with the dealer quite a bit and he gave me a break.

Remingtons seem to be in the %589 range for BDL and $619 for CDL.

I think the $490 price sounds right to me. $389 I don't think will happen today.
