Ruger recently sent an email out with the announcement that they were temporarily discontinuing the 77 Series of bolt-action rifles.  As expected, this announcement sent varmint hunters into a bit of a frenzy (both buying and worrying).  Although the email stated that they were “temporarily” discontinuing their very popular line of 77 Series, the majority of the discussions on forums and social media, were focused on the latter part of the Ruger email where they also stated that “This may be your last chance to get one of these great rifles”.
