In very good condition and showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use, this Ruger M77 Gunsite Scout bolt-action rifle is a piece of firearms history. Its bore condition is excellent and it comes with a bonus soft case. Manufactured in 2011 in the United States, this gun features a matte black finish and a black laminate stock with checkering on the grip and forend. The Gunsite logo on the grip cap adds an extra touch of class.
The Ruger M77 Gunsite Scout stands apart for its forward-mounted Picatinny rail that allows for the mounting of modern optics, like an intermediate eye relief scope, for "both eyes open" sighting and rapid target acquisition. The rifle's detachable box magazine with push-forward magazine release just forward of the trigger guard adds to its unique features. Integral scope mounts, machined directly on the solid-steel receiver, provide a stable mounting surface for included scope rings, eliminating a potential source of looseness and inaccuracy in the field.
The free-floating, cold hammer-forged barrel results in ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy and longevity. The rugged and reliable glass-reinforced nylon trigger guard and magazine well complement the non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor, which is among the most positive case extraction systems ever invented. It features a fixed blade-type ejector that positively ejects empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward.
This design was inspired by what the venerable Jeff Cooper, founder of the legendary Gunsite training facility, valued most in a modern-day bolt action. Despite the various scuffs and dings on the stock and barrel, this rifle is still in great shape and is designated 'very good'. With its laminate stock models feature durable, laminated wood that free floats the barrel and remains stable in weather and temperature extremes, it's a valuable addition to any collection.
The Sturm Ruger M77 Gunsite Scout rifle is a distinctive adaptation of the iconic M77 model. Named after the Gunsite Training Center founded by Colonel Jeff Cooper, it was introduced in 2011. The design follows Colonel Cooper's concept of a Scout Rifle, which emphasizes versatility, maneuverability, and balance. Chambered for .308 Winchester, a popular and potent hunting and sniper round providing good ballistic performance, its matte black finish and bolt-action give off a tactical look while complimenting the rifle's rugged functionality.
