New Ruger M77 African in 9.3x62 caliber

[VonJager]

@Mark Biggerstaff I might be interested as well. The seller I bought mine from on Gun Broker is acting funny now.

What are they doing? Mine is the same seller, and I haven’t heard a word. My ffl is sending today and I was planning to send check tomorrow.

 

[Graham Hunter]

I would deal with Mark. Straight up guy and I deal with the shop he is referring to.

@VonJager FFL was sent monday, at the end of the day, they hadn't changed the status on GB so I called their shop and they said "yep I see it". Today still no change so I messaged them and they replied with, "we haven't received your FFL". We sent it again.
They have a ton of good feedback but the negative they do have is very similar to my case. In fact one of their replies to the negative was that two exact guns were ordered the same day so they mixed up FFL's and sent paperwork to the wrong dealers, which started the process over.

my seller is Posey gun and Pawn. Is that yours too?

Yes it is. I was watching both auctions on sunday, and i noticed they were identical except for the ending time.

Lets hope it doesn't happen to us. If they don't fix it by tomorrow I'll just do a stop payment and buy one with Mark's guy. So much for 2 day shipping.

 

[MISportsman]

Thanks for the heads up, ordered one this morning!

They told me they have my payment and FFL. Will ship monday.

Mine will be here Monday, should've been here Wednesday. I had to call and email multiple times a day to get them to ship it.

Picked up mine today! Now to decide on optics. Thinking about Leupold VX5 2-10x50
Or Swarovski new Z5 2.5-12x50 BT.

Gunshop where I got mine has another if anyone is interested. You can pm me for details

Very nice rifle in a great caliber.
9,3x62 is my favorite cailiber for danerous game.

 

[Timbo]

this m77 is a great opportunity.
the purchase of a cip spec 9.3x64 reamer from someone like dave kiff, and a boltface modification is a good way to get into the more powerful cartridge in a reasonable manner.
if the ruger action is like a mauser, no mag or rail mods would be required.
then we just need federal and swift to supply factory ammo for those who do no reload and this cartridge might get the recognition it deserves.
250, 286, and 300 gn bullets of sufficient quality for the speeds of the x64 would put it firmly on the planet.
possibly the addition of a 232 bullet at high speed to the factory lineup would add to its versatility.

The 9.3x62 made its reputation on the 286gr bullet. With current powders allowing decent velocity pushing a decent 270gr bullet (very few manufacturers make a 270gr projectile!) I believe this calibre would be awesome on the heavier deer and antelope at ranges of 250m.

I've got an FN 9.3x62 Mauser with Sprinter barrel, express stock, and a Pecar Berlin fixed 4-power scope on roll on/roll off mounts. Just deciding what projectile to reload for eland in June.

So I just bought one on GB...dealer immediately called and said they were just notified by Ruger that they needed the rifles back to replace a part? Anyone else heard anything?

 

[Mark Biggerstaff]

I will confirm Ruger is calling back certain serial numbers of them. Mine is one, I have spoken personally to Ruger they will be contacting each shop they sold to and then customers or you can contact Ruger customer service yourself and they will send call tags for it. Mine leaves back to factory tomorrow.

timbo,
try the 286 gn swift aframe.

Since mine was on recall they said I would have back in two weeks. Plan on setting it up to take in May with me along with 416 Rem Mag. I have to try it out this year.

 

[bruce moulds]

mark, add a 7mm and you should have things covered.

I talked to Ruger this morning, mine is going back as well. They won't call it a recall but it's mandatory that it goes back lol. I was curious what the affected part was but they wouldn't tell me. There's a shop in OKC that had 58 of them, they were pulled from GB yesterday.
