Good Day Eh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New here
I thought this might be the place to get some info
Recently bought a Ruger M77 MkII all weather in .223 Rem. to do some varmin' shooting.
Any opinions on my choice would be welcomed!
Thanks ahead of time for your help

All you need is good glass, a Timney Trigger, and you'll have a good coyote rig. Good luck with your new rifle.

Good choice Cdngunner! I have a new M77 in 22-250 and have about 75 rounds through it , haven't had a nice day to shoot it but it allready squeezes out 1/2" groups with no probs, with fact ammo and first couple recips of reloads. doorgunner's right add a good trigger and away you go!Don't worry about velocity, a little slower round that's a tackdriver is a lot better than the fastest rifle shooting a shotgun group!!!!just me the Fishman

Speeking about the replacement triggers. Do the triggers from timney need a gun smith for installation or stoning to match the sear to the bolt???
Instalation I could do but dont know about the fitting.

:)since were on the subject of m77's does anyone have any comments on the m77 compacts in 223 or 243. would the short 16 in. tubes be a concern as to velocity loss. they look and feel like a great carry gun for long treks.
