Ruger M77 - Picatinny or Weaver rail for centrefire

[Scott Country]

Hello all

As you probably know we sell a lot of night vision and a constant thorn in our side is sorting out weaver rails for non run of the mill rifles.

We can supply or carry most rails for Remington, Tikka, Sako, Browning, Mannlicher etc however Ruger M77 centrefire with a stepped receiver is very hard to source.

We thought we had it sussed as Third Eye Tactical planned on making one using a US made component as an idea, however they are not producing one now.

There are a few US companies make them, Weigand, Leatherwood etc, however has anyone here ever sourced another brand, as with import export restrictions, weapon attachments from the US are restricted, even to a dealer without an export licence, so for occaisional Ruger M77 mount requests perhaps not worth the hassle.

This is what we need....

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Paul

Have ordered some from EGW in the USA, however given weeks to come i could do with a UK solution if anyone has any ideas?

Hello Night Stalker, it all depends on import duties.

Put it this way Midway UK retail the same part for almost £130.00 made by Leatherwood, so it will be considerably cheaper than that.

We tried to buy the Midway part but they dont carry it as a stock item sadly.

Yup the Farrel one will be very well made but at $130 dollars plus carriage and import duties you are looking similar to the Midway Leatherwood part.

We will post when our US made ones arrive, and will sort a price but we estimate circa £70-£90

Tikka T3 genuine are in the £80.00 region and Blaser in the £250 region so its not out the way for a tactical component i guess.

is there any sign of these rails yet ??

I passed a Ruger rail onto Craig at Third Eye Tactical, but due to the companies workload they have not had chance to set them into production yet
They are available from the States but expect to pay £90 with the duty and Parcel Forces charges.
