The Sturm Ruger M77 Gunsite Scout Left Hand is not just a firearm, it's a finely crafted piece of history, embodying the concept of a scout rifle as defined by shooting expert Jeff Cooper. This like-new, never fired, bolt-action rifle is a 2013 model from the iconic M77 series, which debuted in 1968. Its matte black finish is non-reflective, making it suitable for tactical use, while the black laminate stock with spacers ensures a precise length of pull. The checkering on the grip and forend, along with the Gunsite logo on the grip cap, add a touch of class and practicality.
As a left-handed version of the M77 Gunsite Scout, this rifle is chambered in .308 Win, a popular caliber known for its accuracy and stopping power. The bolt-action mechanism ensures smooth feeding and extraction, and the 10+1 capacity suits both hunting and range shooting. The barrel is threaded with a muzzle brake/flash hider and is cold hammer forged for durability and precision.
This rifle is equipped with a forward-mounted Picatinny rail for mounting modern optics, a built-in accurate sighting system with adjustable ghost ring rear aperture sight and a non-glare, protected blade front sight. The integral scope mounts provide a stable surface for the included scope rings. The soft-rubber buttpad can be adjusted for different shooters or varying levels of outerwear. The free-floating, cold hammer-forged barrel ensures exceptional accuracy and longevity. The rugged and reliable glass-reinforced nylon trigger guard and magazine well further enhance the rifle's durability.
What sets this rifle apart is the included Burris Scout optic with a fixed 2.75x magnification. It's designed for keeping both eyes open, which allows for rapid target acquisition and improved situational awareness. The heavy plex reticle and 1/2" MOA adjustments at 100 yards provide precise target engagement.
This model comes with a bonus hard case and a 10rd mag. The laminate stock models remain stable in weather and temperature extremes. The non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor is among the most positive case extraction systems ever invented, ensuring positive ejection of empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward. Also included are a rugged, one-piece, stainless steel bolt, three-position safety, and sling swivel studs. This rifle was inspired by the principles of Jeff Cooper, founder of the legendary Gunsite training facility, making it an attractive piece for any collector or firearms enthusiast.
