My father inlaw recently gave me a Ruger M77 chambered in 30.06. I am in the process of changing out the see thru scope mount and scope. I was having problems finding the right bases for the gun.
Well, it's a 1st gen M77 with a tang safety, a push feed bolt and no built in scope bases in the receiver.
1st gen's without the built in scope bases are supposed to be the very first few years of production, like maybe '64 thru '68.
I looked up the serial number and the rifle is supposed to made between '83 and '84.
Anyone have some experience with these guns that can tell whats going on here?
