I have a Ruger M77 I'm try to nail down. I'm 90% certain it's a VT (Varmint/Target), but can't find any information on it.
Can anyone here verify the model with this information? A production year wouldn't hurt, either.
Left side of receiver:
"Ruger M77"
Serial Number:
"78-51xxx"
Ejection port length:
2.735"
26" Bull barrel
.220 Swift
Original adjustable trigger
Tang safety, bolt is locked with safety on.
My thoughts...
The serial number series of "78-" on the receiver indicates it was a special model, but Ruger has no information on it.
The adjustable trigger seems to be a different design than standard tang-safety M77s. From what I understand, only the LE and VT rifles had a different trigger.
If there's any other information that would help, feel free to ask.
