Ruger 77 25-06 | Breathing new life into a classic piece

08/19/2022

Even though dove season has yet to commence, some folks are already gearing up for deer season! 🦌

This Ruger M77 in .25-06 was in here for a top to bottom restoration. The guys stripped the original finish from the stock and gave it a hand-rubbed oil finish (the checkering is in perfect condition!). They bed and floated the barreled action into the stock to reduce any movement interfering in accuracy. The stripped stud holes were re-drilled and new studs were installed.

Before the metalwork got underway, the rifle was thoroughly cleaned & lubed. The barreled action was stripped to white metal and reblued by Sterling. The aluminum trigger guard and floorplate -- which cannot handle the heat of the bluing tanks -- were instead Cerakoted in a matte black finish.

Finally, the Leupold scope was mounted & boresighted on the rifle. A final test fire finished the job and it's ready to be sighted in at the range by the customer!
