Re: gonna have fun-Ruger m-77 in .458 Lott

p.s.-
I am surprised to see this one from Ruger offered so soon. I thought it would be a couple years if at all.
In any case, you can't go wrong with the cartridge.

Anyway, yes, I recieved the Lott today, and am giving it a no.-7 or 8 on the scale of what I was anticipating.
The bolt on my m-48 mauser is smoother, and this one will have to be worked on.
The wood is good, but not excellent.
It looks like, I guess, what I paid for it, but no more.
Fine for going through thick brush, and not worrying about it.
I guess, it's the best a basic-factory rifle can achieve.
I figure it's no need in posting a pic of it-it's not THAT impressive.

The bolt could be a tad longer-with checkering so it won't slip, and the whole thing is muzzle-heavy, even in .458.
Will have to add weight to the butt just to counter-balance.
I can only imagine what the .375's feel like toward the muzzle.!!!

But for the work I want it to do-it's just right.
No frills, just a hard working gun.
