i have one, bolt action.

my first real rifle besides a mini-14.

why cant i find any info on this rifle?

The Mark II is a pistol. The M77 is the only bolt action in 7.62 Ruger makes that I'm aware of.

"I"... "7"... hell, they look they all same when you're drunk.

...

Could you imagine how kickass it would be to have 7.62x39mm pistols again?

Back to your original question.........

(and by the way, is this an M77 Mark II ?)

What info on an M77 are you looking for?

The only issue I have heard anyone mention is the barrel metrics.
Ruger made a compromise barrel configured to shoot anything from a true .308 up to as much as a .313 diameter bullet.
I know of a lot of places having this versatiliy would be a big plus considering the wide variety of ammo available.

This is similar to what the .223 Rem/5.56 NATO Wylde chambering does for it's respective cartdriges, excepting that it is concentrating on the cartridge rather than the bullet with the Ruger. The bullet to bore fit will give you a lot more variables to be sure.

Unfortunately, it is possible that you might need to check a lot of ammo to find one type that shoots decent in this configuration.
I think if you need to both drive tacks and ocassionally hit 20 penny nails this might do both ok but neither one exceptionally well.
Buy a reloading press and have some fun with this. It might prove to be your windmill if you're OC though.

If gas in the US were as varied in quality as 7.62x39 ammo is around the world, you'd have a LOT of cars on the side of the road unable to run.

I'd like to know how it goes.

yup. as i said above your post, m77 mark II.

i was just trying to find out why i could find so little info on them chambered in this round.

i have one sitting in my closet, an all weather. went to rugers website and this gun was absent from their online catelog. googled it and couldnt really find much information. after a bit of searching all i really got was that they only produced a limited number.

i was drunk when i posted this...and all i could think was "why the fuck cant i find any information on this damn rifle online"
