I'm next if it falls thru

Thank you!!

Serial # on the gun in question is 31-1062x......seems to me that is an older ser# unless I'm mistaken It was definitely a 3 screw, but he pointed out 3 or 4 things that just didn't seem right, and the lump in the trigger guard is the only one I can remember now. It's a real possibility that he...

At a gun show a couple months ago I bought a 3 screw 357, 4 5/8" bbl I think. A guy from another table came over and bought it. Next show I seen him at he wanted to know if I knew what I had sold him. No idea what he was talkin about but he showed me some weird things about it. It was 3 screw...

Thank y'all for answering my questions. I would have never thought of using 327 Fed ammo in this gun, and don't intend to now. The possibility was brought up so I asked more about it. It seems possible that they "might work", but I'm not gonna chance any harm to this fine old piece, or myself...

OK thanks, I didn't realize they were all adjustable. I figured they were like the 22's, some drift adjustable and some fully adjustable. Learn sumpin new every day! I tried a 327 in it, cylinder rotates free. Reckon I'll try a shot or two in a few days. Thanks again

I bought a 30 carbine at a show last Saturday too, gave a little bit more for it ($500) but it's a later 3 screw with adjustable sights. If I'm understandin y'all right I can shoot 327 Fed Mags in it as well as 30 carbines? I have a box of each but sure don't want to mess up my shooter...or my...

I would say condition is very good+. That's my thought too, you hardly ever see a 280 in this area by any maker. I'm not tryin to skin this guy on the price, but I don't want to slight myself neither. I'll probly price it well above a 270 or 30-06 and see where we go from there. Thank you very...

I have a 77R in 280 with red pad and tang safety that I haven't used in years, ser # 72-xxxxx. A guy has been after me for a year or longer to price it. I've looked on gunbroker several times and never see one. Any idea what it should be worth? Thanks y'all!!

Thank ya fellas! I didn't realize they were made for that long a time, I'd been told only 3 or 4 years. Had also been told there was all sorts of problems with em. I've shot this one a little bit, so far, and didn't have any problems with it. Got it scoped this morning (66 year old eyeballs) and...

I went thru a few pages here, and tried using the search feature with no luck, so I'm asking for general information. Bought a 96/22 in 22 LR at a gun show this weekend, and like I said just looking for general info on it. When and how long were they made? Why did they stop making them? Is the...

It looked something like that contender. Had a light and my readin cheaters on and still couldn't make it out for sure.

It has the black hard rubber / plastic grips on it that's why I wondered if they were, or might be original. I pulled em off and there was XR3 stamped on the grip frame. Something else too, but I can't make it out, my eyes "might" be getting old. LOL

Did it originally come out with the black hard rubber grips?

Good info rugerguy, thank you!
