And in that role, your particular scope would be a fine piece. Even with a 1" tube scope, like yours, there is plenty of elevation adjustment in the scope to get the job done at woodchuck distance with a.

In the varmint hunting role, not a huge issue.

Another common snag with the M77 target/varmint rifles is the standard Ruger proprietary ring/integral "base". 308 Win, and with your assurance that it shoots sub 1/2" groups, it's going to be a "target rifle" only. I'm not highly knowledgeable when it comes to Ruger firearms overall, but I know this, and have seen it personally with two of these same rifles, one in. However a repetitive problem with them is a poorly chambered barrel that is very difficult to make shoot well enough to be considered a fine varmint rifle, and certainly not to be considered a good target rifle. It looks the part for a 90's/2000's varmint rig: medium-heavy barrel, heavy laminate stock with wide forend. A very good shooting example would make a fine varmint rifle in one of the calibers 6mm and under. To clarify: that model of M77 Ruger had been widely sold as mainly a varmint rifle, in mainly common varmint rifle and what some would consider target rifle calibers. I would see it, as would many that want to spend the proposed $1400-1500, a rifle/scope combination that doesn't have a real purpose. Its a good scope, and IF it shoots well, a good rifle.

It may be a very attractive package for someone that wants something the want to call a target rifle, and go out and blast intermediate range targets with. My explanation, which I hesitate to give, is twofold. that changes things, and its worth whatever they WANT to pay. Click to expand.I missed the "Someone I know WANTS it." part.
