Since we bought my Dad a brand new 77R 6mm for his birthday in 1984. What a beautiful rifle, not too gaudy, classic good looks.
Ruger has always managed to tastefully put their spin on gun designs from the past, No. 1, Blackhawk, 77 (Mauser comes to mind) Mini 14, etc.
And, if it's a new and original in design they can do that too.
