ok, well i just picked up a really really really nice condition Ruger m77 chambered in .22-250. i have always been a fan of the "little" 250. i wanted a yote/hog gun, and the .30-06 is a cannon and heavy. this rifle is a carbine it looks like. 20 inch barrel, Tang safety, and the Mauser action. came topped with a Leupold VXII 3-9x40. in essentially perfect condition. barrel looks never fired...
this rifle was part of an estate sale kind of. a Friends Fiance's father passed away, she just wants them gone. i am getting a Screaming deal on it. if anything i just bought the scope...
i need some information... i can't seem to find any info on M77 carbines. its not quite a youth setup, as it still feels good to shoulder, Extremely light, 20 inch barrel thats as thin as a pencil. what should my Twist rate be?
Trigger feels super dang heavy... but breaks clean, no gritty feeling or anything. I know the .22-250 is a long range cartridge, however this gun probably isn't made for that. I am thinking 2-300 yds, 3-5 shots let it cool... whats the best Range i can probably get out of this super thin barrel?
if anything i'm loading it with 60 grain partitions and i'll go shoot deer with it.
