Introducing the Ruger M77 Mark II, a bolt-action rifle that combines classic appeal with modern functionality. This particular model, the International submodel, is renowned for its Mannlicher wood stock with checkering and a beautiful blued finish, giving it an aesthetic that's as appealing as its performance. Manufactured in 2007, this rifle showcases only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use, and is in very good overall condition.
What sets this rifle apart is its detailed features and rich history. The Ruger M77 Mark II, designed by L. James Sullivan and William B. Ruger, is an evolutionary update to the original Ruger M77. The Mark II, which began production in 1989, is Ruger's flagship bolt-action rifle.
It boasts several improvements over its predecessor, including a controlled-round feed mechanism and a three-position safety mechanism inherited from the legendary Mauser 98. This specific Mannlicher submodel is known for its full-length "European style" stock, adding to its visual appeal and ergonomic design.
The rifle is chambered for .243 Winchester, a popular hunting round known for its versatility and flat-shooting characteristics. This makes it ideal for both hunting and target shooting. The rifle's capacity of 4+1 is a standard for this model. It comes with a Redfield 2-7x33 optic, which is perfect for mid-range hunting. The optic is securely held by Ruger proprietary rings that match the rifle's blued finish.
Also included in the sale is an Allen Company rifle cartridge buttstock holder and a bonus soft case. This complete package provides everything you need for a successful hunting or target shooting experience. Don't miss the opportunity to own this meticulously crafted and high-performing Ruger M77 Mark II. It's not just a rifle, it's a piece of history that delivers an exceptional shooting experience.
