    Help with fair value (Ruger M77)

    I missed the "Someone I know WANTS it." part. My apologies. that changes things, and its worth whatever they WANT to pay. My explanation, which I hesitate to give, is twofold. It may be a very attractive package for someone that wants something the want to call a target rifle, and go out and...

    Help with fair value (Ruger M77)

    If you really want maximum $ for it, you should separate the scope and rifle, sell independently. Its realistically a $800-900 rifle off of Gunbroker, maybe $300 on the scope, off Gunbroker. I would not think it's a very attractive combo.

    Does this exist? (my perfect carry pistol)

    The G43X/G48 are as close to ideal in NY as there is, IMO. Quality, trusted design, excellent size grip and slim width with your choice of length, light, 10rd capacity by design so you don't have the bad feels carrying a 15rd gun w/ 10rds in it. Screw the traditional da autos, if your reasoning...

    Rifle Research

    In 20 years or so of being pretty active in the local scene, I haven’t heard any issue with factory Howa rifles or barreled actions. I wonder is any of those issues you mentioned had anything to do with the disassembly and rebarrelling operation of a Howa 1500/Vanguard? I’ve heard rumblings of...

    I"d have to disagree with the Howa being weak in any significant way. But the rest of your suggestions are spot on. I would put the Bergara above all the others as you mentioned as far as value for the dollar.

    SCR Lower Transferred As Other Or Rifle?

    In this instance, what difference does it make if your are handed this firearm listed as receiver, or this firearm listed as rifle? The only time it would matter is if you were aged 18-20.

    SCR Lower Transferred As Other Or Rifle?

    It's not. It is a receiver. It will be written on the front of 4473 as "Receiver" and the box checked on the second page will be Other. I don't know what is so hard to understand here.

    Powder choices I've made for 68gr-77gr 5.56mm Max Pressure loads have been Tac, A2520, AR Comp (always out of stock when I wanted it), N540, Power Pro Varmint, Leverevolution and others I've forgotten. Some have worked better than others. I really lean toward a Western Powders product whenever...

    Depends on the day. Incoming prices are apparently all over the place, so retail price varies as well.
