Warning. Sarcasim ahead. I probably shouldn't write posts while listening to Frank Zappa.
I am kinda, sorta looking for a bigger rifle. Bigger as in 9.3x62, 338 Winmag, 375 H&H kind of big.
Can't really afford to shell out that kind of chump change all at once. Been looking long and hard at getting a scrubbed and peened RC98 and sporterizing it. That is another post at another time.
So if I go new, I am down to two places here in Monsoon Central that have lay-aways. Sportsmans Warehouse and (choke-gag) Wally-World.
Saw a Ruger M77 plastic, stainless rifle in 338 Winmag at Wally-World. As some of you know. I despise Ruger since the P95 incident of 1997-1999. I refuse to be in the same room with a Ruger. I make sure all my friends don't get Rugers or sell the ones they have. In my world Rugers are junk and only useful for scrap.
But the voice of the Evil Empire is calling from the display case trying to move me over to the dark side.
Anybody have this particular version of the M77? Can the trigger be adjusted? How's it shoot? Is Ruger still putting that (insert expletive here ) warning billboard on the barrel?
If, and that is a very BIG if, I decided to compromise my values and get a ( choke-gag ) Ruger, the plastic stock would be gone.
Gotta go take a shower. All this Ruger talk makes me feel dirty.
My opinion about Ruger is an opinion. Your opinion about Ruger may vary.
Thanks
