Thoughts on Ruger M77 .270 Win?

My question is, how well do Rugers typically hold up past the 10-15 year mark?

Just getting good and broke in, still has a few hundred years left in it

But any excuse is a good excuse to buy a new gun

I'd never sell any gun unless my family's wellbeing depended on me selling a gun. And one I definitely wouldn't sell would be one my pawpaw gave me.
Ain't nothing wrong with a .270, maybe try to deal with it while you save up some coin for a new rifle.
That's what I'd do anyway.

I'll give you tree fiddy

I've got two (30-06 & .338) that are at least 30 years old and work just fine. These are the original M77's not the MKII's.

I had an MKII and liked it, but it was stolen by some piece of shite. Saved my money up from cutting yards when I was 15 to upgrade from by youth .243 model 7.

I have a 77 in 7mm mag. for over twenty five years and it's still a great rifle.

I got mine while on a hunt for a second time when a Remington 7400 I had gave me problems and I borrowed a Ruger with a Manlicher stock in .22-250 and killed a nice buck with it. The next time I have the 7400 issues I drove down the road to Sandy Hook MS and bought my Ruger. Never looked back and got rid of that 7400.
A friend of mine I hunted with meanwhile went through five different rifles including a fancy Sako and still couldn't kill what I killed with my 77. Lol...... In fact I only missed twice with that rifle. Once was shooting left handed and I'm right handed.

Rugers are built like vault doors. I've only had one that wouldn't shoot and it was in 7mag. Have two RSI models with the manlicher stocks, 308 and 7/08, my favorite guns. I've had more Remington's that wouldn't shoot than that one Ruger.
That 270 will outlive you.
