Yeah baby, its a Flatbolt!
Yeah baby, its a Flatbolt!
Did I pay too much @ $349? It's 1969 Ruger M77R in 6mm Remington. These SOB's came with Douglas barrels and old Bill Ruger demanded they be assembled right and tight. Later on "not so much".

If you want to make $10.00 on it I'll take it.
I had three of them over the years and they all shot very well. You lucky dog!

Re: Yeah baby, its a Flatbolt!
very nice!!! I want it lol. It's one of my favorite calibers.
It's hard to detect good luck, It looks so much like something you've worked hard for and earned.

Re: Yeah baby, its a Flatbolt!
Congrads on a good find. I pd 400 for my 7x57. so you did good.
That came with a 12 twist or a 9 twist? I'm guess the 12?
Nice shooting and posting pics of the rifle and target.

Life is an adventure and often to short. Make the most with family and friends. Shoot often and shoot a small hole. Love the 204 Ruger!! NRA Life Member

It is a 9 twist. I ordered a set of Lee Collet dies from Cabela's. I've never fooled around with those. It should be fun. I read that they are among the best dies for low run-out.

Re: Yeah baby, its a Flatbolt!
I agree, the older Rugers were assembled well and were tack drivers. I've owned two of the newer ones and sold both because the accuracy was dismal no matter what load and technique I tried.
