I have been looking for one my go to gun shop looked in several places today and it was a no show. I just wander if they are going to do the gold label thing, put it in the catlog put a few out for gun writers to write super reviews on but never really produce any number of them. Has anyone herd anything?

So because you didn't find one in one day of looking you think they are nonexistant?
I have one, most were produced last June. Ruger can't make every gun every day, they do production runs, like any other gun maker.

You can go there and get on the list and when Davidsons gets one they will email you, there is also a #1 in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Lol well yeah, from the look I got when I asked about them I started getting that oh no feeling. I would have sworn he looked at gungenie but I could be mistaken.
What do you think of the gun? You have got my undivided attention.
Is yours the target model?
And thank you for your reply .

That is mostly true, although with new calibers or platforms they have to estimate sales and schedule a production run.
Mine is the target model, I like it a lot, although I'm still working on setting it up. I shot 1 box of factory stuff (that was all the store had) and at 100 yards the groups were about an inch, but I haven't shot much and I haven't lapped the barrel yet. I'm still waiting on RCBS dies and some hornady brass I've ordered. I also need a better scope to take advantage of the real potential of this gun.

I bought one a month or two ago - $725.00, ordered by the gun store from a distributor who had 4 of them. Keep poking about, one will materialize. Took me longer to find the dies than the gun, I had to reload my 1st 50 rounds with a 260 Remington seater die and a Hornady 6.5 mm neck sizer die. Finally got the dies from Creedmoor Sports on line.

Good going - got a scope yet? I put a Weaver 36X on mine, the scope mounts were "just enough" high for the scope bell to clear the barrel. Although the trigger was set OK from the factory I did some adjusting and got it down a bit more, no overtravel either. I very much like the 77 Target trigger. I don't know why the 77 Target isn't more popular, I have the 223, 25.06 & 308 plus the Creedmoor and they all give excellent groups.
Picked it up Saturday am shot a box thru it Saturday afternoon.I was a little disapointed in the overall rifle. The first VT I bought was the .204 when the .204 first came out,and overall (fit finish trigger) is quiet a bit better than my second which is .308. The creedmoor is gonna get ranked third out of three mainly for finish. I like the caliber and the trigger is a little better than the .308 still need to tweek it a little.But there is not a 4 sale sign on any of them.

You have the older 77s with the polished grey finish, yes? My 223 and 25.06 were bought a few years back and have the same, I was disappointed as hell in the "spray paint grey" when I bought the 308 last year & now on the 77 rifles. I can handle it on a target rifle I suppose, but there's no way I'm buying a Hawkeye or RSI or anything else put out by Ruger with that finish.
The trigger should be just as adjustable and I didn't find it any different than the previous 77 targets. I found that some "3 in 1" oil on a small rag or paintbrush rubbed into the surface makes it look much better.
