M77 Varmint Factory Tapped on Barrel?

M77 chambered in 220 Swift with Varmint Barrel

Did they come factory tapped on the barrel for a scope block of sorts?

Yes, they did.

Thanks.

Hmm - My 1995 KM77VT in .22-250 did not come with barrel drilled and tapped. It came with the barrel having machined upsets front and back of the bolt opening, onto which fitted Ruger factory scope rings.

Was their something special about the .220 Swift?

I believe those dedicated Ruger scope ring mounting points were on the receiver, not the barrel.

All the tang safety M77V rifle were so drilled & tapped. I'm not positive about the MKII varmint rifles.

Roger that. On receiver, not barrel. My bad. Thx, Coop
