Ruger M77/22 Hornet

I’ve got one with a walnut stock and blued. Like new maybe 100 rounds through it. Scope rings but no scope. What do you think it’s worth?

What barrel is on it?

20 inch blued.

Please do not Sell It. You will regret it!!!!

I’ve got a Ruger M77 in .280
That gun outshoots anything else I have. Everyone I shoot with has offered to buy that gun, ain’t no way I’d sell it.

I got it as trading stock. Looking at something else. I do have another Hornet I’ll never sell.

I paid right around $500 for mine used in like new cond at the local gunshop in 2019 pre pandemic/gun rush. Looking on gunbroker they have gone up significantly!

Used Ruger M77's have increased in value quite a bit since that start of 2022. I have been following them in hope of starting a small collection .In good condition $7 to $9 hundred is about normal .But if you are looking for something that is a little more rare such as a 257 Roberts ,25.06,264 Mag or .284 or one that they produced in an Ultra Light caliber such as .308.you might need to pay twice that much to get one in very good condition. But on the other hand the price of guns that are in good condition have increase across the board no matter what the make or caliber they are .

Here is another caliber that was produced in a smaller amount than say a 243,270 or 30.06. From those that remember when Remington first came out with the .280 caliber that was the name it was given . Later due to low sales they renamed it the 7MM Express ,hoping to capitalize off of the 7MM Mag . That caused confusion so Rem went back to calling it the .280 since that time I saw a Ruger M77 that had .280/ 7MM Express stamp on the barrel .The .280 is a great caliber but it just never became a popular round

Hard to sell though. Gun broker gets a big fee. FFL dealer gets a fee and buyer has to hope the sellers word is good. Sure was easier when you could just list them in the classifieds of a newspaper. I would join facebook if they allowed firearms on marketplace. Something has to be shady about them since they do not. Same for craigslist. Arms list is a good place if your buying but I dont think to many gun nuts regularly peruse it.

Danny I agree with the hard to sell thought . You need to wade through a pile of rules and regulations to get to the point of as you say You hope the seller is good to his word

I have a spotless one in .284win. Are they worth over a thousand ?

Yes the going rate right now is from $1400 to $1800 maybe a little more .According to what I can find only 465 or 467 ,I don't have the information right here , where ever chambered in the M77 IN .284 caliber .. And of course, not all of them are in very good or better condition. The .284 is another really great round that just never caught on with the shooting public . Right now several rifles in the 6.5/.284 wildcat range that are gaining a strong following

Thanks,

I bought it 30 years ago about from the guy who bought it new, he never shot it but I ran a couple boxes thru it. I bought it just because, lol.
Paid 250 for it.

Well I will help you double your money I will give you $500.00

I’ve got a 25-06 264 my brother has a 220 swift and a roberts

Those are 4 good ones to have .Take good care of all of them as they will continue to increase in value

The 264 is 1 of 35 according to Ruger. It’s stainless laminated that’s my favorite Ruger. Also have a 338

They have a 7mm mag skeleton at Scheels in Billings pretty spendy also a 308 compact for $1100. Which reminds me of the 260 compact I have.

for that 308 Ultra light that price is about what you will see them listed for .My one brother had one of them for a while It was a great gun to hunt with because it we SO nice to carry .It shoot good and he was a good shot with it .It probably sold for about $450.00 new in the mid 1980's .For some reason the Ruger M77 became a more popular gun to collect over the last couple years

I wanted a Ruger 280 really bad a few years ago and never could find one. Then, as luck would have it, I saw 2 brand new ones in a local gun store. Ruger had not chambered that caliber for several years so I had no idea where they came from. I bought one, and believe it or not, it wouldn't shoot. After trying several factory loads and several handloads, I ended up sending it down the road. I was so disappointed!

My 264 Win Mag was that way until I bedded the auction and tried a couple dozen hand loads. She shoots like a dream now.

Over my hunting career I had a few Ruger M77,s I am a left hander shooting a right handed bolt action gun while I missed more than I care to admit it was 100 % shooter error .Everyone I ever had would shoot as good as I was able to shoot it off hand at .I may not have shoot many .5 inch groups at the range but I did OK when it was time to attempt to shoot a deer .And I never did not get a deer because I did not fire enough shoots at it

My one buddy bought a compact when the .260 first came out. Wish I would've also.

I had a couple of nice M77''s including a .280 and a 25.06 Both where good guns . I often wish I could get back a few of the guns I no long own.

Another great round for whitetail deer .

I hear ya, I gave my niece a 25.06 Ruger for her graduation I miss......but I miss any gun I no longer have.

Yes but in that case she will remember you forever .It is a gift that will influence her as long as she lives . Good job on your part

Thanks,

After she got the 06, she brought the deer in.

Right after I got this gun I went to a buddies with a shooting range set up. Not sure what kind of rest it was but you just set your gun in it and move the dials horizontally and vertically to get the scope lined up with the target.
First shot was a bullseye. Second shot my buddy said “Miss” I was like no way! Next shot he said “Miss” Something wasn’t right. While we were checking the ammo, scope, and mounts my other buddy walked down to the target. We knew something wasn’t right when he started walking back with the target. Turns out I had a cloverleaf hole dead center of the target that could be covered with a dime.
When someone wants to borrow a gun for hunting, that’s the gun they get because I know if something goes wrong it’s on them and not the gun.
