My local pawn shop has 2 different Ruger 77 MKII stainless rifles in .243 caliber. I haven't had the chance to handle either one for weight or barrel length. Only looking at them on line. I'll go in next week to check them out.
One has what I would call a "standard" black synthetic stock. The other has the Zytel type stock I had on a stainless All-weather 77/22 a couple decades ago. Both rifles are used but in excellent condition with no boxes. Neither rifle has a scope, but both have the original rings. There is a considerable price difference between the two. The one with the standard stock is $550. The one with the Zytel stock is $950. I know the Zytel stocks were only made for 4 or 5 years and are a little more scarce, but this price difference is more than I expected. $400 more for the Zytel?!!
I don't know of any other differences between the guns. Whether one is considered a lightweight, or what. Anyone have any experience with these different models and is one decidedly better than the other?
Thanks,
Rod
