RE: Just bought a Ruger M-77 Mark II 25-06.
Nice gun WK and a lot better then the 25WSSM I may add, I had a 22 magnum with that finish and I think it is Peened with some sort of oxide that gives it that look. I once called Rugers CS and told them that if they made that SS finish standard I would own nothing but rugers. That 25wssm should die a fast death if my hunch is true. Guy designing the WSSM's and managers approving it need to get their head out of their A@@.
