Ruger m77. 7x57

Pending..

Nice original Ruger M77 with tang saftey. Hard to find in this shape and chambered in the classic 7x57 Mauser. Has superficial marks here and there but still in nice shape.  Adjustable trigger breaks Nice and light.  Serial number indicates it is from 1977.  Comes with bushnell banner 4-12 with parallax adjustment on objective lens. Scope is probably as old as the rifle.  Floor plate functions well and action is smooth.  Pal will be verified, shipping is on the buyer ,  UPDATE:  there is some question about the early m77's accuracy based on ruger sorcing barrels from different manufacturers.  I had never fired this rifle so when I finally got some ammo from the previous owner I took it out to test it.  I got 3 different boxes of ammo, I full box of remington express core-lokt 140gr, 1 full box of older norma 150gr and one box of the same norma 150gr with just 4 rounds and some empty brass.  In the picture is the 4 rounds of norma 150gr at 100 yards, first one was off to the right. I adjusted the scope based on that and grouped the other 3 ( in hindsight I should have just done the 4 shot group off to the right without adjusting)  I think the 3 shot group shows the accuracy of the rifle and the 7x57 well.  The remaining 2 full boxes of ammo can go with the rifle in a local sale.
