Does anyone have one of these guns if so what can be done for the triggers mine is 4lbs. I plan on using 100 gr interlocks for coyote and Deer.What kind of groups can be got with this gun.

Here is the link to the trigger info you seek. I use this method to get a nice 2 pound trigger.

The link to the 77 trigger at centerfire central was for the M77. I don't know if the MkII is the same. Look at the gunsmithing forum. Nate

Graham- I have a Ruger 77 Mk II V/T (stainless, 26 inch heavy barrel/laminate stock) in 2506. I assume this is the rifle you are asking of? I'm not aware of any other 26" barreled Rugers, so...

That said, my rifle is an OK shooter, but is not exceptional. With the better loads I've worked up for it, it will put five inside an inch at 100 yds if I am having a good day, 3/4" if I am having a "hummer" day. I have never messed with it's trigger, as I feel it is adequate as it came from the factory. Not to mention that I have heard conflicting reports as to whether this trigger is adjustable or not.

I have settled on using the 100 gr Ballistic tip over a stout load of Reloader 22 as my load for this gun. Thumps coyotes with authority.

Big Nate,
The link IS for the MarkII. A regular M77 trigger is adjustable with a screwdriver. This one is done with stones. Using these instructions and using the factory pivot pins I can set the trigger to 32 ounces in 20 minutes wood to wood with only the use of 1 arm. In 1 hours worth of time I can make one 16 ounces crisp repeatable and safe. If I had both hands I could cut these times in half.

Super Bon Bon: I have a Ruger M-77 V/T with a 26" barrel and it is in caliber 204 Ruger.
I also found the trigger on this Rifle as it came from the factory to be crisp and without creep (once a person is past the military type two stage take-up) and as I recall it was right at 48 ounces from the factory.
With my stock trigger and all stock Rifle I have shot may sub 3/4" groups with factory ammo - I will relay the last two five shot groups I fired at 100 yards with the 40 gr. Hornady V-Max ammo - they were: .788" and .530"!
And with my handloads the last two five shot groups at 100 yards were .595" and .374"!
Kudos to the folks at Ruger for this fine factory stock Rifle.
I can't find my Ruger catalog right now to verify one way or the other if the other calibers of the V/T M-77 are also 26" barrels.
I will add that info when I find my 2,005 catalog!
Long live Ruger!

According to their website, all V/Ts have 26 inch barrels.

I have one in .243 and it has reasonably good repeatability with the right load,(mostly bullet). The trigger is right at 4# and I elected not to fool with it and would like to think I got proficient with it the way it is. roger

Super Bon Bon: I re-read your first posting and I think I may have misunderstood your posting. You might have been saying there are no other M-77's that have 26" barrels - other than the V/T model - and they all have 26" barrels.
Anyway thanks for the clarification.
I thought that you might have been alluding to the fact that Ruger made their Varmint weight barrelled #1's (the #1-V's) in both 24" and 26" offerings. I do not know if they still do this but they did so in the past. For instance their 223 and 22-250 #1-V's had 24" barrels and the 220 Swift #1-V's had 26" barrels. I just verified that the 24" and 26" offerings in the #1-V is still the case.
Long live Ruger!
