I’m spoiled when it comes to Ruger. I live a few miles from the Newport, NH factory and see many unique Rugers. Many from the hands of employees. Just this past weekend I saw a M77 with case hardened receiver and floor plate 1 of 500 made, then a prototype speed six in 9mm from the mid 70’s showed up with all the provenance and box. That was 1 of 12 made. The neat thing about that was it was made to not require moon clips.

I Have owned Ruger M77 chambered in .270 Win for almost 30 years it has killed many mule deer and Elk here out west. I looked up the serial number on ruger's website and mine was made in 1975. I can honestly say this rifle will never leave my possession and will someday be passed down to my son. 👊😎🇺🇸

If I have a steel and wood rifle I want the steel milled from a forging. I want the checkering hand cut etc. my favorite rifles have been M70 pre ‘64. 270, 300 H&H being the best all round hunting rifle I have had. I have nothing against the skeleton tactical stocks or synthetic stocks in their place. But to own and a appreciate it has to be steel and wood 😃

I think you should take the three popular controlled round feed rifles and do a comparison. Ruger 77, Winchester model 70, Kimber, or CZ 550. I find it interesting that people favor the Remington 700 so much. The 700 is a plain push feed rifle that is mass produced which isn't always a good thing.

I’ve been researching quite a bit about the American ranch 450 bushmaster and pretty soon stumbled upon the Ruger scout (which also comes in that caliber). The whole scout concept appeals to me, but am not convinced about the long eye relief scopes. (Even though some say it’s not part of Mr Cooper’s original definition it seem to have somewhat evolved to include it.) They sure look nice and for a stalking rifle in the brush it somewhat makes sense with low magnification and the option of shooting with both eyes open. But one wonders if that couldn’t be obtained with a normal scope mount too... The Ruger scout can mount a regular scope, but to me that would feel like a compromise. In any case, thanks for your videos, after watching a lot of different ones I must say that yours are in class by themselves.
@UnitedStatesOfGuns6 жыл бұрын
Thanks Patrik. Good observations on the long eye relief scopes. I've tried and compared several different low magnification conventional scopes with long eye relief on the same rifles. The long eye relief is very fast on target - but I prefer the conventional scopes. At low magnification or even a fixed 2x or 4x the field of view is generous and snap shooting is possible. I do understand the appeal of the long eye relief scopes though.

Hi Kenneth - I knew Don Allen quite well - the founder of Dakota. His Dakota 10 falling block is based on the Hagn and he made one for me in .45 ACP - a lot of fun to own and shoot. I liked his line of cartridges but when he asked I said I felt it might be an uphill battle to get broad and lasting market acceptance - no matter how good the cartridge line is - the big companies are hard to beat and there are so many proprietary cartridges. Weatherby did well though and then there are all the Lazzeroni type offerings. Still, Dakota cartridges are superb.

Nice review, thank you very much. Regarding the process of investment casting and “strength”, I read on many websites discussions regarding the strength differences between receivers made of investment castings and receivers that are “forged”. The use of the word “forged” is perplexing to me. My understanding is that receivers made from “round bar stock” are NOT “forged” but instead are simply “machined” from a piece of “rolled” round bar stock. This means that the use of the word “forged” is actually inaccurate and misleading when describing receivers such as the ones you find in Remington and Savage rifles. Do you find the use of the word “forged” to be improper and misleading?

Bom ouvir de você no Brasil. Bolsonaro está fazendo um bom trabalho e espero que você possa comprar Rugers e todo o resto em breve. Tantas ótimas armas para tentar. Tudo de bom para você!
