New Lipsey’s Ruger M77 Alaskan in 9.3x62 and 35 Whelen

NECG sells sight inserts for that rifle and they are cheap. That will regulate the irons to your load no problem. Not sure how Ruger is supposed to regulate that rifle to 100 different loads all at once.

Well I’m glad I didn’t spend $2500 on that rifle! Why on earth would they not have one or the sight ajustable elevation wise

adjustable sights maybe easy peasy, but that of course is just my own opinion. Or make the rear sight as blank that people can file down to there loads/ammo they gonna use. But for me it would need adjustable sights I shout all kind of loads in my rifles, I don’t have a unique load that I hope will do everything. But again just me!!

For the price Ruger should have included a few rear sight insert options or simply made it adjustable. JMO. …..maybe should have test fired a few too

Anyone have the 9.3 and not happy with it? Like to hear feedback on the fit and finish, accuracy. On the wait list like everyone else. Checking Guns International as well.

Fit and finish were top notch, amazing looking gun and overall i was impressed aside from the obvious that I sent it back for. Ive read in another forum that a guy shot two boxes through his and the iron sights became accurate even when he started with them hitting 10" low at 50 yds. When I get mine back Ill put a few boxes through it.

Ron Spomer just posted a video on YouTube and he was having the same issue with his rifle shooting like 8" low.

Hopefully Ruger sends a lower front bead with the rifles going forward. Or a higher rear sight

They should have had that sorted, but it is a pretty easy fix... and while at it, chose a bead suited to your preference.

Interesting that they put rifle with open sights on the market on the market w/o testing and or at least telling people what ammo they use to regulate the sights and at what distances! I still think adjustable rear sight is pretty simple and cheap to put on instead of fix everything and “hope people never use them cause we don’t know where they shoot… we put them on cause they look good…”

IMO there is nothing uglier, cheaper, or less reliable than factory adjustable rear sights.
Joseph VB was shooting a 35 Whelen at 25 yards on YouTube and it was dead nuts zero.
