RUGER in 350 rem mag
Thinking of buying this gun:
Ruger M77 Mark II Standard in 350 Rem Mag. I have never owned a Ruger and was wondering about their accuracy and if anyone has this in a 350 what are the best loads to start toying with? Looking to use this gun as a heavy brush gun in under 100 yds shots. Was originally looking at the 35 whelen but this came up cheaper and easier to get. Any input would be greatly appreciated. |
RE: RUGER in 350 rem mag
ive never seen the 350 in a ruger. is it new cause I cant find anything about a ruger chambered in 350
Never mind I found it is new I like my rugers they all shoot good and are nice rifles. I also am a fan of the 350 so it should be a good combo. why limit it to only 100 yard gun you could shoot that bad boy easy out to 250+ I might find myself looking into one of these |
RE: RUGER in 350 rem mag
I have owned a couple Rugers and always liked them except for the triggers. I presently own a .350 ( Model7CustomKS) and you really have to see what it does to game to understand its capabilities. As for it being a 100 yd rifle only, give your head a shake. It will knock down anything you can afford to hunt out to 300 yds no problem. I find the .350 just crushes deer and black bear like nothing else and I've seen a couple moose and caribou nose plant to single shots at @300 yds. I shoot everything with 225 Partitions with mine.

Hi Mr.D
I think all the ruger 350s were actually made in2002/2003, at the same time Rem introduced the 673 in that caliber, you can verify that with the serial number. I guess they were sitting in a box in the back of the factory all that time. I purchased onelast year ($525, NIB) and love it, although mine is the all weather model. I found four boxes of the 200gr X bullets and LOVE them, although I don't think any more are available. I am thinking of moving up to the 225 TBBC rather than the 200 TSX. It is a 300+ yard cartridge. You might want to peruse: http://35cal.com/ That site is dedicated to the whelen and .350. It also has links to identify the date of manufacture by serial number. Good luck, CE |

I also have the 350 Rem Mag for my T/C.. I enjoy shooting the 350. It’ definitely not a long distance cartridge but will definitely shoot game farther then 100 yards and take them down. I wouldn’t mind getting a bolt action in this caliber, if only I had the room...;)

Cool! Nice piece! You won't regret it! I remember Ruger had a special run of this caliber many moons ago, and I almost bought one. But when I "fondled" it off of the shelf, it was too long for what I wanted for a short tree stand piece for bear hunting!

Its the balistic twin to the 35 Whelen. It has to be good.;)

RE: RUGER in 350 rem mag
Ruger's web site has it listed under new products.
Then click on new rifles. It comes in wood and stainless all-weather. By the way, I never said that this caliber couldnt be used over 100 yds. its just that that is where I intend to use it. From what I read, it has a pointblank range of 260 yds. The main reason for its use will be whitetail and black bear during concurrent seasons primarily in heavy cover. |

Is the all weather model you have in stainless? Describe the stock. Does it have a cheekpiece? |
