Desperately want one of these in 375 Ruger.
chicharrones - side note/unrelated - . . . is your signature based off a recent thread on here??
Any accuracy results yet?! I'm looking forward to hearing about shooting experiences.
i like that indestructible reap sight.how would a ghost ring with a tritium vial on each side of center and a sigle vial front sight work?
Nice review. I hate things that do not work exactly like they are supposed to when I buy them brand new. Be them a one dollar item or a one thousand dollars item. Two hundred and forty grains? That got me curious. May I ask what is the intended use of such a load? It is rather unusual. Never seen that on the factory ammo shelves up here. It must deliver quite a punch within a hundred yards.
I think with the 77 action you should not be able to close the bolt on a hand fed round like a Mauserive had 3 ruger center fire rifles , 25-06,30-06 and a 35 whelan. the whelan was a special run stainless/syn. for a large calliber it could keep groups at 1 to 1 1/4 in at 100 yrds. and sadly it was a lemon. sent it back 2 times for repair and finally i requested my money back and ruger had no problems with that. the problems were /couldnt close the bolt on a single hnd fed round(fixed),stripped fore end bolt(not fixed), missfire about every third or fourth round(not fixed). they couldnt replace the gun for it was a special run and couldnt replace it with any other gun because they said they only had one other gun in the factory and that was a 300 mag. so the agreed to refund the full amount. pretty decent of them but i really liked that gun.
I just picked up one in .416 Ruger...Looks great. I'm very interested in a Ruger Guide Gun. I have not seen one in a shop yet but I suppose it is a matter of time. I am thinking .338 or .416 (which has only recently been listed not he Ruger site.)
Great write up and great pics - thanks for the review.
ihoser - the Winch 70 boasts a 25" bbl, unthreaded, retains open sights, but is 8.5lbs vs 8.1 for the RGG. Also 45" vs 40". No brake, non-adjustable stock. Rings not included(?).I'm still considering the Guide Gun, but now I'm thinking I should stick with the pricier new Win 70 Alaskan (FN made) or less expensive Browning BLR (but in 308). Both have irons too. Thoughts?
Who puts a muzzle brake on a 30-06??? Nice looking gun other then that.
