This model is of particular interest to collectors and shooting enthusiasts alike, as it marks the transition era from the original Red Pad models to the newer versions that later included the highly regarded integral scope mounts.
The overall condition of the firearm is good, showing some signs of prior use and handling. The stock shows signs of handling wear, including scuffs and scratches, as does the optic. The barrel shows signs of minor blemishes. However, these minor imperfections contribute to the firearm's historical character and do not detract from its performance or reliability.
Features of the Ruger M77 Tang Safety include a 4+1 capacity, a 24" heavy barrel, and a blued finish for both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance. The stock and grips are made from American Walnut, checkered and polyurethane finished with a rubber butt pad and a synthetic grip cap adorned with the Ruger logo. The bore condition is excellent.
The firearm's caliber is 6mm Rem., offering a good balance of power and recoil. This makes it suitable for a variety of hunting and shooting applications, from small to medium game or varmint hunting to target shooting. The firearm's bolt-action mechanism ensures superior control and precision.
Included in the sale is a mounted Simmons Pro Hunter 6-18X40 scope with a duplex reticle. Despite showing signs of handling wear, including scratches, the scope increases the firearm's accuracy for longer distance shooting. All these features come together to make the Ruger M77 Tang Safety an excellent blend of craftsmanship, performance, and historical value.
