The Ruger M77 is a bolt action rifle manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. The M77 action employs Mauser design principles, incorporating a long non-rotating claw extractor for controlled round feeding and a fixed blade ejector. The two lug bolt locks into the front receiver ring. The original M77 is distinguished by its tang mounted safety, which locks the bolt handle in the closed position when engaged. The receiver features integral scope mount bases cut directly into the top of the receiver, a design specific to Ruger that accepts Ruger scope rings without separate bases. The M77 feeds from an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate.

This example is chambered in .243 Winchester with a 22 inch barrel and a blued finish on the barreled action. The stock is American walnut with a straight comb, pistol grip, and red rubber buttpad. Fitted with scope rings, though no provisions for iron sights. No original box or additional accessories included.
