SPF on another site! Finally! I have a Ruger M77 tang safety model 30-06 FS. The metal on this gun is very nice, very bright and shiny, with a small blemish here and there. I would rate the metal at 80%+. If you know bolt rifles you should know these rifles are highly desirable because they are a Mauser 98 action, with controlled round feed, the best bolt rifle design there is. At the time Ruger first brought out this rifle, all the other bolt rifle makers were going cheap with push round feed type actions. But credit is due to Ruger for sticking with the Mauser 98 design! As for the stock it has been re-done in a dark Winchester style tint and a Pachmayr decelerator pad installed. As is normal with these guns the floorplate and trigger guard look crappy with scratches. Steel floorplates and trigger guards can be obtained as a set from Pacific Tool and Gauge. This is by no means a showpiece, but it is a Mauser 98 design, the best bolt rifle there is! Just in time for deer season. Asking $350 shipped to your FFL.
