BACKGROUND The Shakopee Police Department has used a Ruger M77 .308 caliber rifle (serial # 773- 16344) for sharp shooting purposes.

To do that, the department would like to sell our current rifle and scope and use the proceeds towards a Remington Tactical Rifle and sniper package.

The police department is seeking council authorization to sell the Ruger rifle to the Sport Stop for $600.00, with the proceeds being placed into the police department's drug forfeiture account. The new sharp shooting rifle will be purchased using drug forfeiture funds.
