The Ruger M77 is a bolt-action rifle produced by Sturm, Ruger & Co based in Southport, Connecticut. Founded in 1949 and producing rifles, shotguns and pistols, the company is currently America’s largest firearms manufacturer and has a reputation for durable, reliable and no-nonsense products.
The M77 is typical of Ruger’s designs. First entering the market in 1968, it started life as a modernised Mauser 98, although the more industrially efficient investment casting method replaced the forged receiver of the Mauser.
