Ah, you are a sick and demented man Cody....nobody in their right mind has THAT many Rugers. Laughing

Seriously though mate....the rifle looks good. As Joe said...let us know how it shoots.

Cheers, Vince

Vince, you have no idea how many Rugers I actually have. About 85% of my collection is Ruger's if that tells you anything. Very Happy

Thanks for the compliment though. I will be needing to pick up some reloading dies and brass for the 22ppc.

Codybrown,
I'm not up on the Rugers but I do remember that they also chambered a 6PPC in the varmit line.
Did a little checking around and only found a listing for a K77VT. It also came in the 22PPC and 6PPC. Don't know if thats the same as the KM's or not.
Anyways check it out, you just might have an excusse to buy another gun.
Man, I just love to help spend other peoples money!!!!!!!! Very Happy

chamberesd221: you have a link for the 6ppc? The KM77VT are Ruger's target/varmit configuration. I never need another excuse to buy another gun because I'm still single Surprised

Sorry, no link
I remembered Ruger chambering the 6PPC and looked it up in the Blue Book, But it was listed as a K77VT.
I found no listings for the KM's. I thought they might be the same.

See how fast cody jumped on that, though? Attaboy, Cody.

Thanks tracker:D I think I'm going to call Ruger tomorrow and see if I can find someone to talk to about the KM77VT lineup. I want to make sure I have all the rifles in that configuration.

And what is wrong with Ruger guns of any kind? I am a bit partial to #1s and OM single actions myself. Course, I have the same afliction and have been an RCA member since 1975. Very Happy

The good, bad and ugly about Ruger collecting is the word, never. There is no such word for a Ruger collector, cause every time you think you have all of a type, another gun that was "never" made comes out of the wood work.

You got me thinking so I checked... 27% of my guns are Rugers, with a several more on the wish list. The next highest number is 12% for Marlin. S&W, Winchester and Remington are there too.

Kinda makes me wonder how well armed you are (guessing---very)when you refer to the guns in your collection by percentage rather than numbers, lol. Don't get me wrong mind you, I'm saying it's a good thing. Very Happy

Hehehe ypu, I got quite a few. Well, I found out that the KM77VT's were also chambered in the 6mm ppc. So another one to my "want" list
