Shaun_300 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Well last night dad told me to go get a rifle that I wanted, it'd be my Christmas present. I've always liked the Ruger M77's, so this morning while it was dead at work I phoned around to the very few gun dealers in the area and see what they had in stock. One store in Ottawa had exactly what I was looking for, told them I'd be down in the afternoon to have a look. Took off work at 3:00, flew down to the city and had a look. Well, the guns have to have trigger locks on them up here while they're on display, the owner said they never set a combo so they can just take it off to show customers and the combo is "000". Anyways he goes to take the trigger lock off and he said "Ahh crap, someone must have played around with this and set an actual combination!" (in a little fancier language:D) So I start at 001, hit 199 and snap, it opens. Have a look, decide it's what I wanted, picked out a scope and I was out the door! Here she is! The wolves are in trouble this year!! :D:D Ruger M77 Mark II in .25-06 Remington. Topped off with a Bushnell Elite 3200 3-10x40.
