One of my 'table buddies' at the Tulsa show picked up a M77 MK2 VLE - 308.
It has some things we cannot verify. First, he called Ruger Records and here is what they told him:
Model listed as M77 Mk II VLE, shipped Oct., 1996.
Shipped with the Harris Bipod
Blued heavy barrel in black/grey laminated stock
they noted that it was shipped as a "police rifle"

All good so far. BUT, it has a muzzle brake that is installed so well, it is very, very hard to see the line where it screws on.

So, the question - do any of you know of any shipped from the factory with a muzzle brake?
And, is there anything else you might could tell us about the rifle.

Thanks,
Buddy

At this time, sounds like aftermarket. But with Ruger you never know. You'd think they'd have something in the notes about the "extra" brake if they did it though.
