Good link, Tom.  I checked it out before my post.  They already have 99% of the platform there.  Just add the scope mount and Voila.  (I had to look up the proper spelling of that.)

BAC,  Move that scope mount further and dead on!  ;D

This thread brings to mind William Ruger's beliefs and makes me wonder "what if" he still ran the show today.

Mr. Ruger was known to tell anyone that asked, cared, worked there, or just happen to be around that Ruger did not need focus groups.  They were all gun guys, and if they did not know what the shooting public wanted they had lost touch with their passion.

In this age of high priced ammunition would Mr. Ruger have marketed a package that included a gun, and a matching .22 rimfire gun for cheap practice?

Like the Blackhawk and Bear cat, or Vaquero and single six ?  Deer slayer 44 and 10/22 ?  Almost guaranteed     ;D

Back in the day, and still hoping, you could buy the old .44 mag deerslayers for dirt  cheap like 250 bucks, now that I have a machine shop, you can't touch even an ugly one for under 400, but my idea was convert one to take Desert Eagle mags, not much improvement but 7 rds over 4 would be a nice trade with a little work.

How about converting a Marlin Camp Carbine to take Glock mags ?

I love the M77 looks and handling, but I could do without the $800 price tag. :o Its a freaking .22 guys! >:( On the other hand, the savage at $315 looks perfect, IF they have it in Lh. Sad thing is, its probably more accurate than the Ruger as well. ::)
