Preliminary results but the Bergers will certainly get more load development. This was the first time I ever shot a Remington factory 2oz trigger- can’t imagine a better trigger on a bench gun.
Nice! Some of those old guns will shoot lights out
I have an ALL original near mint 1968 Ruger M77 in 6mm Remington with the heavy 24" varmint barrel. With modern powders and bullets, it can shoot groups in the .2's and ocassional high .1's if I shake it just right. Lol.
Simply amazing what some of those old rifles will still do![]()
I also have a tang safety Ruger 77 , made in 1974. 220 Swift hvy barrel. Not only is it beautiful, but very accurate. 52 g Bergers- best load...The latest Rifle magazine is a double issue in one - the Jan 2019 issue and within is their first issue- Jan 1969; the cover article is the new 1968 Ruger Classic 77 and in the 2019 an article “Original Ruger M77”
I have a tang safety 77 in 22-250 that shoots 1/2 min and ended many coyotes before their time.
Lot of value in Ruger firearms
no frills, just thrills.That is a very slick looking rig; hell of a shooter too.

I knew tasco copied the BAlvar, but didn't know they copied Unertle.
i learn everyday. Sometimes the same thing i learned yesterday and forgot!
Last year I bought a customized 30-06 Enfield 1917 rifle with a Balvar 8 scope mounted on it. The last time it was shot was when the owners son took it deer hunting when he came home from Vietnam, I loaded some ammo and took it out to shoot it and it was still sighted in. That tells you something about the scope and mounting system.I recall reading an article years about the Balvar scopes (Baush & Lomb). If I remember correctly, they stated B&L was the first manufacturer to successfully build a dependable fog proof variable power scope that didn't shift POA with mag changes. I believe it was their Balvar 2.5-8x. It was an amazing accomplishment at the time.
