[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2011487, member: 69192"] Very nice looking rifle, I really like the woodwork on this gun. Curious about who did the gunsmith work for you? I've had trouble finding a gunsmith who will work on Ruger 77s for me. Either they don't like working on them, or they are not tooled up to work on them. Also I have been using MinWax antique oil finish on my rifle stocks, they come out looking incredible and the finish is easy to do. There's a You Tube video on the technique to apply the finish. Essentially it starts out with applying a liberal coat of MinWax then wet sanding it with 300 paper, then 400 and then 600 grit paper. The finish is extremely durable, when the application is done I give it a couple of light coats of flat automotive clear. The attachment is of a Marlin 1895 that I did a couple of years ago. You've got a really nice looking rifle, in a good cartridge and done with some great gunsmithing work. [/QUOTE]
