- I just picked up my Ruger 77/357 at the local gun shop and headed to the range. I took four different brands of factory ammo.
PMC Bronze 158 grains
Federal 140 Barnes
UNDERWOOD 158 grains
Buffalo Bore 158 grains
so far the Federal ammo grouped the best..
However.. I've only shot 17 rounds through the firearm! So.. we'll see how she does after sixty rounds and a new trigger spring :)
I had one in walnut/ blued 44 mag. Tried at least 6 different loadings. 2-3 inch groups at 25 yds. 4-6 six inch groups at 50 yds. Sent it down the road!
@@Johnowens-dm1vb I basically went from four moa to one moa.. with three range trips.
1st trip.. no changes.. 4 moa
2nd trip.. Dremel tooled the barrel channel and changed the trigger spring.. 2 moa
3rd trip.. added .002 inch bolt shims to take up slop in the bolt.. one moa
I definitely wasn't happy about the first trip..
Thanks for commenting and stopping by :)
I have a video explaining the upgrades
Very cool rifle. Dont see them to munch anymore . That barns did well.
Thanks brother
They're making a bunch now with threaded barrels
The factory ammo was Federal Premium with 140 grain Barnes bullets. Definitely preferred those
@@blackie1of4 have to keep a look out
I just subscribed. What scope magnification do you recommend for the Ruger M77 .357?
@@rarsenio1 thanks for subscribing.. I highly recommend a 1x4 rifle scope!
Mines an older Bushnell sport view.. 1.5 x 4 power!
A one power would be ever better!
Bushnell.com has a low power scope with a German reticle.. with an illuminated dot! I believe it's a Bushnell Trophy.. 1x4
Thanks for the support..
Good stuff man!
I did not get notice of this video!
I got James Community post!
I just unsubbed and re subed. Hope that fixes it.
Thanks brother.. appreciate it ❤️
UA-cam is crazy.. there's certain channels that I've subscribed to and find out I'm unsubscribed
@@blackie1of4 yup. I was looking for something from ya. Had not herd much from ya!!
@@cw2a gets a little crazy at the Blackies.. having 14 grandkids.. raising 2..
I find a little time here and there!
Had six here yesterday
Is that scope 1.5x4.5x20 (1'' tube)?
Yes it is.. it's a Bushnell Sport View
Very nice scope for the price if you find one! Crystal clear holds a zero and I've used it on several firearms at the range. From zero to 200 yards :)
I actually have Bushnell scopes on all my firearms!
The vintage Bushnell scopes are better than the newer affordable options!
Thanks for stopping by brother
@@blackie1of4 I like, and have a couple of old Bushnell scopes.
1 of them is a 2.5x20, fixed power, it's on one of my Ruger 10/22's. The glass is very clear. Really neat scope, and light too.
I'm not into weight. I like to keep my firearms light.
I found that scope at a gun shop, in a 5 gal. bucket of used scopes, for $5.00 out the door.
@@dalesmyth7398 I am the same way.. my hunting is done inside 200 yards.. often inside 75 yards. Most of my scopes are low power variables.
My favorite is the Bushnell Prime 1x4x32! I have an elite that's 1x4x24.. but the prime is definitely better!
The scope in this video was picked up used.. in the local gun shop for $29.00 :)
@@blackie1of4 Yep, most of my shots are under 75 yds, it's real brushy here. I have taken shots at 5 yards, had a buck to walk out from a cedar bush.
I bought a Bushnell Trophy XLT 1-4-24mm with the 5.56 reticle for one of my AR's.
I don't care for it, it's heavy for one thing.
The glass is clear tho.
It's just not the scope I thought I wanted, that's just me.
I'd prefer a 1'' tube, lots lighter.
I hate humping weight around.
You got a deal on that one in the video.
If you ever decide to sell that scope, let me know!!! If you're like me, you won't, but thought I'd let you know.
