Really regretting passing on that rifle when I saw it.


Posted from a secret country mansion in Colorado known as The Meadows.

Have wanted one for some time, and passed up a few that I should have bought. One of these days I'll end up with one.

There is one on GB for sale in Stigler, at a Pawn Shop there...

I had one years ago. It liked Federal ammo.
Used it hunting in woods where you were lucky to see 25feet in any direction.
Wish I still had it.

I have a friend with two of them,,,
After Ruger said they no longer had parts,,,
He bought a beat-up one to cannibalize if necessary.

But I agree that it is a fine rifle,,,
And I wish I had one just for the fun of it.

I have wanted one for a long time too. They quit making them in '85 and I never see them for sale in a price range I can afford. Wouldn't mine trying one of the ones built on the Mini-14 platform either but those were only built for about 5 years in the early 2000's.

Anybody have a 77/44?

I'd also really like to know the average cost to see if I can look for one... off to Gunbroker.

I have a suppressed 77/44, it's an awesome rifle...

I have a 77/44 blue&walnut with a small Nikon scope on it. It's great and has greater range than you might anticipate- i shot a deer about 150 yards across a pasture about 15 years ago with it. I just held right on and it dropped dead. My load is a 265 grain Hornady bullet over 23 grains of H110. The 265 Hornady was designed for the .444 and is a real rifle bullet as opposed to the 240 grain bullets designed for pistol velocities.

My experience with the Ruger .44 auto is keep the gas mechanism clean and stay away from cast bullets.

Good Luck!
