I'm more a collector of historic rifles, not hunting rifles. This rifle however filled a particular niche that's been bugging me for years. I really wanted a "elephant gun" or at least a belted magnum of some sort. I have been on the lookout for a rifle in .458 Win Mag, or .375 H&H, and finally this Ruger popped up for a good deal locally.

Its a M77 MK1 with the tang safety. It looks nearly unfired, as I suspect most of these magnum caliber rifles are. I fired a few shots from it, before my shoulder had enough. I'm ecstatic that i finally got this rifle, so I thought I'd share it here.

Nearly unfired because it crushes clavicles. That is a beautiful rifle, but $10 a shot would deter me

That would be great for executing a bulldozer. I do, however, understand the draw. ;)

I have two Ruger M77 Mk I rifles in .270 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield. Great rifles!
