Went to the local boom stick shop today to trade my 40cal xd that i dont care to shoot at all anymore and trade for a muzzle loader.
They said there invitory was to high but was intrested in my xd so after looking around i saw a ruger m77 mark 2 in204 it was flaw less so i asked about it and a local gun smith owned but traded it for a 17hmr which he is big into the 17s.
Talked to the gun smith that i have known for years and said it only had about 50 rounds down the tube but liked playing with the 17 better.
ended up trading the xd plus a 100 rounds for the m77 a box of amo and a bore snake.
Did i do good or bad i will get more use out of a rifle than a pistol .
Just thought i would get your opionions

You know my opinion......SWEET!

Would have ben a sweeter deal if a scope would have come with it or shot the ghog that you guys grand slammed

Well to sweetn up the deal even more the previous owner of the ruger dropped off a set of rcbs fl dies and some brass i couldnt even get him to take any money for the dies

That sounds like a good deal on your end, well done. I grabbed one awhile back, haven't shot it, maybe some day she will get to see the light of day. Put a 3x9 Redfield wideview on her, thought it might make a good carry gun. The only MK II I own, never knew how nice they really were til I got it home!! They look sexy, let us know how it shoots.

Clint: Sounds like a decent deal to me. My dad always told me "a deal is a good one if both parties come out smiling at the end". Sounds like you're smiling.

Let us know how she shoots........

Remy i didnt metion mine is a target model i dont think it would make a good carry gun a little to heavy for that .

Well, that makes it an even better deal I would say!!!

I'd say you came out on the better end of that deal! Gary
