I went to the local store to get my deer tag and saw a Ruger M77 tang safety in 25-06. It has a bull barrel and is rather heavy. It is in a standard stock not a target stock. I took the bolt out and the barrel looks clean. The action is smooth but there are some issues. I think it was a truck gun because the stock is beat up and the bolt handle has the blueing rubbed off. The last issue is the crown. It looks clean but the blueing is rubbed off there also. The guy at the store said a guy out west had it and used it to shoot coyotes. They are asking $350 for it. Do you think it would be worth messing with? I would shoot it first and then recrown if needed, have the trigger worked, Dura-Coat the barrel and restock or refinish the stock. I am looking for honest thougths and ideas. I have an trap gun that I do not use that I could use as a trade and the guy at the shop said to talk about the price with the manager.
