Here are some pics of My first ruger, M77 Mark II, 223

NIkko stirling 4-12x42 scope

It is a real tak driver and a real joy to shoot with. I am thinking about painting the bipod to match up with the light colour of the stock, but I am in two minds about it.

Thoughts anyone?

What is your favorite target/varmit?

Wow, that is a slick set-up! Beautiful gun! I'd leave the bi-pod alone. Black is just fine.

I like the contrast of the black bi-pod.

I mainly use this for shooting the wild dogs that have been known to kill the calfs on the property. But I do also use it to shoot wild pigs - I know 223 it probably a little small for a pig, but with the set up I have its easy to fix them up with a clean headshot.

And the more I look at it the black bipod seems a good mix of colour and really suits the setup - I think I will leave it as is!

Congratulations, that's a beauty!

... and don't color the bi-pod. The rig looks great as it is.

I'm jealous :wink:

Ah, now I'm really jealous! That sounds like fun!

And IMHO .223 is just fine for pigs with a set-up like you've got. Sounds like you've got the whole shot-placement thing down!

I had to come back to this thread just to look at that rifle again!
