I am on a backorder list for a new 77/44 and was wondering if anybody had any ideas when ruger is going to start their next run on these. I know they are on gunbroker but I can get one from a local shop for about $100 less and am not in a huge hurry, but the anticipation is killing me!!! I am pretty excited my dad already has one and it is a pretty sweet shooting woods rifle, and I have a redhawk with a 7 1/2" barrel in 44 mag so they will go beautifully together.

Have you considered asking Ruger? They must have contact info listed on their web site.

Yes I actually already emailed them but all they told me was they are currently in production and couldn't tell me when they would be starting the next run. So maybe I should quit whining and just be patient. But that's easier said than done!!!

I just got a call from the gun shop and they found me one and it will be in next week sometime!!! I get to pick it up next saturday, and can get the free ruger carhartt also so i'm pretty pumped up.
