The Ruger Model 77 Mark II you have (serial number prefix 780-) was likely manufactured in 1989 or 1990. The caliber designation .220 WBY Rocket is a custom or wildcat cartridge, as it was never a standard factory chambering offered by Ruger. The value of this unique rifle is primarily determined by its custom nature, condition, and the specifics of the chambering.
The Ruger Model 77 Mark II is a highly regarded bolt-action rifle, known for its ruggedness and reliability.
Action: It features a controlled-round-feed action with a strong Mauser-style claw extractor and a fixed blade ejector, a key difference from the original M77 design.
Safety: It utilizes a three-position wing safety located at the rear of the bolt, which allows the user to lock the bolt or unload the rifle with the safety engaged.
Trigger/Floorplate: The floorplate release is positioned on the front of the trigger guard. Factory triggers have a reputation for being robust but sometimes heavy, though they can be adjusted or replaced for target shooting.
Stock & Finish: Mark II rifles were available in various configurations, including traditional walnut stocks and the durable, sometimes controversial, synthetic ""boat-paddle"" stocks (likely a laminated or walnut stock in this specific caliber). They came in blued alloy steel or stainless steel versions.
Special Note on Caliber: The .220 WBY Rocket is not a standard factory caliber. This suggests the rifle was either custom-built, rebarreled, or re-chambered by a gunsmith for this specific wildcat/proprietary Weatherby-based cartridge. This customization makes it a unique piece. Equipted with a Minox 3-15X42 ZA5 Scope.
