Last summer a contributor posted on another forum that a large wholesaler had a small stock of "Ruger M77MKII" rifles in this caliber as "new, old stock" that they were trying to clearance. They sold them for $439 plus shipping. My dealer ordered five, and all the wholesaler had were gone within a week. My dealer picked out one stocked in circassion (sp) walnut and held it for me. He sold all the rest quickly for a tidy profit. I have to say this has the makings to be the perfect rifle. First of all, it's not a MKII, it is actually a Hawkeye, in gloss blue with the new LC6 trigger, and the fancy engraving on th floorplate. I couldn't be more tickled with my new toy, how it handles, and bet of all...she shoots! I took out some old reloads and some factory ammo, and so long as I don't heat the barrel up, she shoots beautifully!
I might have a competitor for my favorite deer rifle.
