USED rifle in very good condition. Leupold 3.5x10 scope included.The Ruger M77 was originally based around the Mauser 98 (in another attempt by Ruger to recreate a legendary firearm in modern times) although several changes were made to the design. L. James Sullivan designed a slightly different bolt, which meant that (although the M77's bolt action mechanism is virtually identical to the Mauser system) the Mauser style blade ejector could be modified to be a simpler plunger type system which is more reliable than the full Mauser solution.
Safety is dealt with by two position tang mechanism which allows the M77 to be loaded while also meaning that the M77 has less chance of accidently discharging. A new trigger system was also developed with the M77 that is designed to produce a smoother pull. Scope mounts are also installed directly into the receiver, preventing the need for picatinny rails to be installed (which could require constant attention to prevent loosening.
Yet one feature of the original Mauser 98 remains, the angled screw which holds the action to the stock. The temptation for most bolt action rifle makers is to use a screw straight through the underneath of the action, potentially affecting the movement. Ruger have maintained the angled screw on the M77 which has the effect of angling the action slightly downwards without affecting the action movement.We have powder, primers, brass and bullets available as well, call to inquire.
