Welcome to the forum tmanmi.
Graveyard,
Ruger did discontinue the M 77/50's.My dealer confirmed that a couple weeks ago.When I got official word of that I jumped on a S/S w/ Laminated stock model.Anybody interested in one send me a PM and I'll give you his information.Supposedly he can get any of them.I doubted he would get the S/S Laminated since they have been listed in the catalog for awhile.4 days later it was waiting for me.Soon they'll be gone and prices will do nothing but go up.Now's the time to get one.

Ruger Redhawk
