Who on here has one, (pics to prove it haha)? What are y'all's opinions…?
Ruger 77/22

I was looking at that also. Did they quit making it in .22LR? All the web site shows is .22 Hornet, I wouldn't want that.
I have a 77/22 in the all weather boat paddle. It was the first gun my dad gave me in probably 93ish. I will have to dig it out of the safe to get a picture. It's not the most accurate 22 I have but I have killed a bunch of stuff with it.

That's really cool!
I have an early one - ones you could easily change the barrels out. Factory walnut stock with custom inletting to allow my aftermarket 22WMR and 17HMR barrels to be easily interchanged. For the record.. I love this rifle

Curious… Why don't you like the hornet?
I have nothing against it. I just don't need to add another caliber, especially in rimfire. I'm just going to use it to shoot paper.
I have a heavy taper ss/laminated Ruger 77 in 22 hornet.. Wish it were a standard weight 77 honestly.

Very nice! I think I'd like to have one…. Would probably trade a loaded out mint Mathews Traverse for one. Also thinking about a CZ also. Can't make my mind up…

I have a 77/17 with walnut stock. It looks like a baby 77 short action. Everything about it is proportionally smaller. It's a cool lil gun.

I have the walnut 77/22 and also the walnut 77/22 hornet. Absolutely my favorite 22's. Love'um.
The hornet is center fire, lowest of the low as far as I know, was a popular ground hog gun at 1 time but ballistics are not pretty.
Got one in stainless in a boat paddle and looking for a blue one to drop into this spare stock i have to complete my set .
Actually got a m77 7 mag in stainless boat paddle with a spare boat paddle as well waiting for a blue m77 to go into it. And a 10/22 stainless boat paddle rifle but no other stock to match it to ! Always been very pleased with the m77 mkii series of rugers !! Although they are increasingly incredibly i will still collect them when they come up
Hails in comparison to a .223 for sure, however unlike most of us… it has hung on for over 100 years. 22H is and was its best at 200 yards & under. They have an undeniable following as well .. which is also somewhat hard to understand given the price of ammo. Yet.. at the ridiculous high prices - they still sell online daily.

I purchased this one in the 1990's. Killed many Squirrells with it.
Not for sale or trade LOL.
