I have a Ruger 77/22 all weather stainless in a ruger boat paddle stock . Been watching them on GB and they have been going for well over 1200.00 and up .The last one I followed went for 1625.00 minus scope as well as another factory stock Mine has a mueller stainless scope as well another additional boat paddle stock . Any ideas on what this could bring as fair as a price ? Thought about maybe putting it on commission at the local gun shop . I have recently got into long range shooting and this isnt being used as much as it needs to be .

I bought a Ruger 77/22 full-stock in .22 WMR a couple of weekends ago at a local gun show and it was offered at $1,250. It is not the rifle you describe as it is blue steel finish, walnut full stock but in as new condition. Maybe I got it because it was a full-stock rifle which is not what every one wants but I have always been an easy mark for a full-stock rifle. Some call them Mannlicher but I don't use that term since I can't spell Mannlicher.
I am not sure of what I paid since I traded two-for-one but I left happy. As I recall, it was the only 77/22 I saw at the show, stainless steel finish or blue-steel finish.
In good condition, I think your rifle may bring a premium since it has the less common boat paddle stock.
I don't know if my comments are of any value to you but I would do some research on Gunbroker, Guns International, Guns America and such before I made a final decision.
Good Luck.

I usually make both the spring & fall Wanenmacher gun shows, since my office is only a few miles away. I'm usually there all day friday, before it opens to the public.
Always liked 77/22's, so i tend to watch for them at the shows.
A fair number of them pop up there, but for the most part the ones i see priced at $1k or less often sell, & those that are over $1200 are often still there when the show ends with no takers, unless they are as-new, with box, etc.
Stainless .22magnum boat paddles seem to sell a bit quicker, and really clean ones bring a few bucks more.
I suspect you'll get a better price by listing it on the auctions, and the relatively low seller fees on gunbroker will likely be less than most shops would charge you for a sales commission. And, your spare stock will add a couple of hundred bucks to the package.

Put the spare stock on ebay. Put the rifle on arms list. As was noted , $1200 seems to be the quick sale cap,
Boat paddle stock have quite a large fan base, and with limited production have gotten extremely expensive, but….
The boat paddle stocks are worthless without the pinned to the receiver ejector and mag release hardwear.
Converting a non boat paddle rifle to boat paddle is extremely difficult because having to locate and drill the receiver to accept the above mentioned ejector and mag release.
A boat paddle stock only works for either 22 lr or 22mag/17hmr, not both like a wood stock
The only easy conversion is boat paddle to non boat paddle stock.
It is also easy to change wood or boat paddle Zetal to standard plastic

Ok I will check to see online for a break down of parts . I have never had the stock off the rifle. The secondary boat paddle stock was just an extra that i had ran across years ago but its got the mag release on it . Figure if someone bought the rifle the added stock is a bonus if they wanted to hydro dip or just hunt with it and have a back up stock to drop it in
Look at the mag release lever on the spare stock, you will see it just hangs loose, with no way of retaining the mag.
Many people want the Boat paddle stock, but don’t realize it can’t be used without the pinned to receiver mag retention and ejector block.
They also don’t realize that even if they have the correct block, without the receiver drilled for that block it is very difficult to properly locate and drill the hole at the correct place on the receiver of a non boat paddle rifle.

Here is the block needed for a Zytel boat paddle stock
Here is the standard wood or plastic stock hardware that incorporates ejector, mag retention, and trigger guard
That is not correct.
There is a big difference between the earlier Zytel Boat Paddle stock, and the later plastic stock.
The Boat Paddle stock does not use ”bottom metal trigger guard“
The BP trigger guard is molded into the Zytel boat paddle stock, and the ejector/mag release block is pinned into the bottom of the receiver
This is my 1990 boat paddle 77/22 magnum. Bought it new in 1991. Got a great deal but was never really crazy about the green inserts. I fashioned the walnut inserts myself and I like it better this way. I also have a factory walnut stock that I occasionally swap for the boat paddle. Good shooting rifle but not quite a tack driver. Just fun to shoot.
I have a boat paddle stock I'd be willing to move along as it doesn't get used much at all.
22lr complete and ready to swap.
