220 Swift that was decently accurate by the standards of the day, at least it would put five shots into an inch or just under. * Friend of mine in the mid-70's had a standard Sporter model. The main thing to look out for with the original Model 77's is that they were made during Ruger's cheap barrel period, you could get a good one or it could be total crap.* Sometime around the 90's Ruger began producing their own barrels which were and still are good to very good. There was a slight lip which went all the way around the bolt face so the round had to be chambered and then the extractor snapped over it.Īfter a while they ground off the bottom of that lip and made it a true CRF, then later came out with the Hawkeye series which had a different stock design and different trigger. After the original tang safety Model 77, Ruger came out with the Mark II which had the three position safety and the long, non-rotating extractor but was still push feed.
