Introducing the Ruger M77 Hawkeye African, a bolt-action rifle that commands respect for its power and precision. An excellent condition piece, this weapon shows only faint signs of prior use or handling, and the bore condition is excellent. The sale includes an added bonus of a hard case to securely store and transport this magnificent firearm.
As a variant of the M77, the Hawkeye African is specially designed for large game hunting. It's powered by the .338 Winchester Magnum caliber, a popular choice among big game hunters for its substantial power. The Ruger M77 Hawkeye African is a testament to the blend of power and precision, making it the perfect choice for game hunting or target shooting.
Manufactured in 2019, this model combines Ruger's rich history and modern advancements. The blued finish, a chemical process that provides corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal, enhances its robust design. The bolt-action mechanism ensures smooth loading, accurate shooting, and simplicity of use. With a 4+1 capacity, you get extended shots before reloading, maximizing the time spent on aiming and taking each shot.
Notably, this gun features an American Walnut stock with checkering around grip and forend, a shallow "express-style" windage-adjustable "V" notch rear sight, and a large white bead front sight. The integral scope mounts, machined directly on the solid-steel receiver, provide a reliable and secure attachment of scopes. The gun also incorporates a three-position safety, an LC6 trigger, and a muzzle brake system including a removable, radial-port muzzle brake. However, please note that there is a small indentation on the left side of the forend.
Whether you are a seasoned hunter or a firearm collector, the Ruger M77 Hawkeye African is an excellent addition to your arsenal.
