Magnum Force
Single-Sixer
I have been wanting a Ruger 77 MKII stainless "All Weather Rifle" with iron sights, but apparently they are very scarce. All the ones I've seen have no iron sights, so figured I'd get a stainless Scout rifle, and maybe drop it into an All Weather synthetic stock.
Sighted it in this morning in freezing cold weather and gusty winds. About 25 degrees and winds up to 20 MPH. Not the best shooting day, but in January you take what you get.
Took me about ten rounds to get the sights zeroed, then I put a five rounds into a target at 100 yards, fired from the prone position. Four went into a nice group about two inches square, the fifth round low (trigger jerk, sight placement?) who knows. I'll consider it sighted in and ready for action....
An add from 2003, showing the line or Ruger All Weather Rifles, 77KII, 77/44, Mini 14 and 10/22:
My accumulation of Ruger rifles, Scout Rifle, 77/44 Mini 30 and 10/22:
I think these should do for most shooting in North America!
