My local shop has a nice looking Rguger 77/22 with scope and walnut stock. Just looking for some opinions/feedback on this gun.
Also looking to possibly putting a finned and threaded Tactical Innovations barrel on it and would appreciate any thoughts. |

I have that exact rifle I bought new in the late 80s early 90s I forget,it is a very nicely made and elegant .22.They are a little pricy though,and if buying new today I would buy a CZ to fill that niche.
Just like the 10/22, out of the box accuracy will probably be dissapointing,and in order to reach its full potential Barrel/Bolt/Bedding work will be neccessary. I believe the new 77/22s have threaded barrels which will complicate barrel swaps. |

I have a stainless all weather 77/22. Love it. Mine has the iron sights, as well as the scope mounts. I simply use it with iron sights...it is quite accurate even with irons. Whoever here said a 77/22 or 10/22 isn't accurate is nuts. I have a 10/22T that will shoot into one ragged whole under a 1/2 at 50 yds all day...it is boring to shoot since it is that accurate. nothing wrong with 77/22's or 10/22's... |

Whatever,but the day a 77/22 or 10/22 sporter does 1/2" at 50 yards with zero modifications,is the day hell freezes over. |

my 10/22 Target with Leupold 2x7 rimfire does it ALL Day. Fajen thumbhole laminated stock, free float barrel, factory 10/22 target barrel with spiral twist...boringly accurate. 10/22 are easy to set up. My 77/22 is my squirrel gun...again...boringly accurate. sorry but you must be running into either a run of bad rugers, bad ammo, or poor marksmanship. my 10/22 drives my shooting buddies nuts....have won quite a number of shooting bets with it. they don't bet anymore |

I went with a used CZ Varmint. When the 77-22 came out, the gun mags raved about their accuracy. |
