Hey all,

I was wanting to know some information about my m77 mark II .270, what are some peoples thoughts and opinions of this rifle? Ill be honest i dont know much about it, my father bought this rifle for me as my first deer rifle. I love my ruger and find it to operate smooth and find it more accurate than i am.

Thanks

I think you've said it all already.

I cannot think of anything that my old-model M-77R .30-06 could do better for me.

.270 is a fine deer round, too.

As long as you can shoot it accurately, you'll hopefully feel the same about yours as I do mine.

Good luck ...

I think it to be a real classic, love the wood and checkering, bluing and more important, the fine working action and accuracy. My 1st rifle was a Ruger M77R in .243 which I let go in a stooper to get the 25-06 M77V (the heavy bbl varmint rifle they used to offer). Both were tang safety models. The 25-06 was not as accurate as my 243 sporter.... it just hit where it aimed like a laser. I have replaced the 25 with a 22-250 M77R that acts like my old 243, but I don't have as much love for it as the 243 was my go to and I don't trust the 250 a much for deer.
You may have the best caliber yet in 270 winchester, and it lends itself well to the M77 MKII. You have a winner for elk deer and lopers for sure.

I have a M77 Mk II in .270 but mine is stainless with the laminated stock. I handload and came up with a load that groups about 1" at 100 yards. The gun is probably capable of better but that's good enough for deer and the ranges I see in east & central KY.

It is a very good quality factory production rifle! I am pro Winchester model 70 rifles for most of my hunting but I do own several of those Rugers. Yes, they are more accurate than most of those who shoot them by far.

You're a lucky guy to have a dad like that--too many kids will never know the wonderful joy of receiving the gift of a fine hunting rifle from their father.

I have a Ruger Hawkeye in .270, and I love it.

I know you'll will enjoy it for many seasons to come.

You will cherish that rifle and pass it onto your grandchildren. Mine is as capable as ever at 34 years old. My kids have learned to appreciate the "whomp" of a .300 Win Mag. from it.
