Ruger 77/357

[twoblink]

Looking at some of my old posts from TFL and THR, I have been asking for this rifle for 10+ years! So time to save some money and buy this bad boy!

If you own one, I'd love to get your feedback and mini review.

I now have:

Ruger SP101 .357 2.25"
Ruger GP100 .357 5"
IMI Timberwolf .357 18"

and would love to add this to the list of .357's I own. It seems like if I was doing Coyotes, this would be the preferred rifle of choice over my current Mauser K98 in .308. I think a Coyote at 100 yards from a .308 will be red spray and not much else. Seems like a great rabbit gun also, and in a bolt action.

I put a mil-dot on my Timberwolf (the iron sights are more than useless, they are so low I actually can't sight with them in any position).. But the gun isn't bad. But a bolt action in .357! And with a rotary magazine.. Makes me giddy..

Seems like a distinct lack of interest in these......but for some reason they cannot keep them in stock long where ever you go.

I just snagged one yesterday. Davidsons got 10 in, and they sold in a flash.

Don't have a 77/357 (yet) but do have a 77/44. It's not supremely accurate but sufficient for anything within 150 yards. The factory trigger pull was awful but a Volquartsen sear for a 77/22 works in these rifles and lowered the pull considerably and cleaned up most but not all of the creep.

Just bought one, but haven't had a chance to shoot it. I think it's gonna be neat. I love carbines in these intermediate cartridges. Not so much the 44.

Gunblast has a good review.

I am looking to buy one in the very near future-
Great match for my revolver.
Every review seems to be very positive.

I have a 77/44 & love it. Get a .004-006" shim to go between the two halves of the bolt & accuracy should tighten right up.
