Introducing the Ruger M77 Gunsite Scout, a bolt-action rifle that is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. This American-made firearm is designed for serious shooters and is in good condition, showing some signs of prior use and handling. Despite some minor scratches and pitting on the barrel and few scuffs and dings on the stock, the bore condition is excellent, ensuring superior performance.
Manufactured in 2013 by Ruger, the M77 Gunsite Scout model was conceptually inspired by the late Colonel Jeff Cooper's scout rifle idea, making it a firearm with a prestigious lineage. Finished in matte black, this rifle is chambered in .308 Winchester, a popular worldwide choice for hunting and target shooting. Its unique design features a forward-mounted Picatinny rail for the mounting of modern optics, enabling "both eyes open" sighting and rapid target acquisition. The rifle comes with a detachable box magazine with a push-forward magazine release just forward of the trigger guard.
This model boasts of integral scope mounts, machined directly on the solid-steel receiver, providing a stable mounting surface for scope rings and 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 ensure durability and reliability. The non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor is among the most positive case extraction systems ever invented, positively ejecting the empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward.
The laminate stock models feature durable, laminated wood that free floats the barrel and remains stable in weather and temperature extremes. The rifle also includes a rugged, one-piece, stainless steel bolt; a three-position safety; and sling swivel studs. This is a firearm that embodies the perfect blend of ruggedness, accuracy, and dependability, making it a must-have addition to any firearm collection.
