Ruger - does it exist or should I stop looking.....

Did Ruger ever make a left handed M77 in .308 or .30-06 WITH iron sights? I keep looking but have not seen any….let me know if I should stop looking.

Thanks.

They only made the LH 308 without sights. Unsure on the with sights on the 06.
You can buy the sights from Ruger and have them installed thats what I did on my
LH Whelen.

The Gunsite scout rifle is made in .308 only and has iron sights, although I don't think this is really what you were thinking about.

I bought the open rear sights for the 375 Ruger nice sight. An ordered a
front New England front banded sight from Bronells after it came I looked
on Brownells front sight chart and ordered my front sight. It is on a custom barrel 35 Whelen Imp. Looks great and is a nice backup. Kurt

I too added Ruger sights... I had a Hawkeye 300 Win Mag rebarrelled by McGowen to 358 Norma and had the sights and barrelband sling swivel from the African models added. Looks and feels great. Of course I got it back from McGowen just before another year long excursion for the Army so I can't honestly say it shoots great... haven't even gotten to shoot it yet.

Mat and Kurt,

we cannot order parts like as the Ruger company is not easy to deal outside US and the rep center here is really bad so hope day i ll be able to find the references number from Ruger directly.

all the best.

Brownells should have the numbers in there catolog. You may not be able to order them but could reference them.

Here is NECG rear sight about a duplicate of Rugers
