Picked up a M77 sn# 70-6130x today. After all the years of seeing terms used here on the Forun I realize I don't know squat about Ruger Long Guns and trying to understand RENE just made things worse.
The rifle is a flat bolt (flat bolt handle, plum also) with tang safety ( heard the term and the safety is on the tang) and red pad. 7mm mag, and I don't know the difference between Short and Long Action. Barrel has the Southport Roll Mark and no billboard. Stock is walnut with gloss finish, pistol grip and checkering and has a Weaver scope mounted.
Guess I just want to know something or anything about these older M77s since I live in the Old Model area of the Forum. Thanks and be gentle.
