Ruger M77 tang 243 win for sale

I was looking at a .243 the other day brand new for my son first rifle. I think it was Remington. I am no gun aficionado so I really have no idea what the custom work you did means… it was about the same price new though, minus the ammo of course! $600 it also came with a little vortex. Someone sell me on what separates this one from the brand new one at the store?

I am in the market!!

That M77 is a bona fide classic -- solid construction, visually distinct, and much rarer than a new Remington (no offense to Rem fans).

I am the biggest Remington fan on HT. I also have three Rugers, two of them tang safety rifles. If I could swing it I would buy this myself. And one of my tang rifles is a .243. mtmuley

The guys at sportsmans were trying to tell me he can use it on his first elk too. I figured in 2 more years he can shoot my .308, because idk if I trust the .243 to do the job if it aint dead nuts perfect. What have you taken and how do you personally feel about the cartridge?

I'm sitting here trying to justify why I need a .243 when I have a 6mm in the same rifle...hmmm, I have a few hundred .243 brass, a metric shit-ton of .243 bullets.

That's a sweet rifle and I'm shocked its not been sold.
 
I had one of these in 25-06 and I miss it all the time. Too young and dumb to know I shouldn’t have sold it.

Good looking rifle, good luck with sale.

Lots of deer and antelope have died. A friend of mine that was rifle poor and had a bad shoulder killed a few bulls with it. Probly my favorite rifle behind my .222 Remington. mtmuley

They're great guns. I my first rifle is in .270, still have it.
 
I should have kept my 338… I loved that rifle. When my first crazy wife ran me into the ground I had to sell nearly everything to make ends meet. I am so blessed to be where I am today. I won’t even mention what I sold it for…
