I havent used one but they look nice. They have some real good prices at CDNN Investments. They have walnut /blue 249.99, synthetic/blue 239.99, synthetic/stainless 269.99, and laminate/stainless 299.99. They did have the officers model but sold out. This rifle only has a 22 inch barrel and I dont know the charges it is rated for. It should be a strong rifle. Its made from the same steel as their centerfires. I saw that a 209 conversion kit is available either at Cabelas or Bass Pro if you get one cause they come with a #11 plug/nipple only.. The integral rings would be nice too if the rifle will shoot as good as it looks. Here is the link for an article on the rifle. http://www.chuckhawks.com/ruger_77-50RSO.htm
