Ruger M77 Tang-Safety .338 Win. Mag. Bolt Action Rifle, 24-Inch Blue Steel, Walnut Stock, 1987
Built in 1987, this Ruger M77 Standard Rifle pairs the hard-hitting .338 Winchester Magnum chambering with the trusted tang-safety M77 action. A polished blue 24-inch barrel, American walnut stock with red Ruger recoil pad, and integral scope bases make this full-size rifle a practical, collector-worthy example of Ruger’s classic first-generation design.

What’s Included
- Ruger 1 in scope rings (pair)
This rifle features Ruger’s original tang safety, a design preferred by many shooters for its intuitive reach and clear status indication. The push-feed bolt incorporates a large Mauser-style claw extractor for positive extraction and reliable feeding of the potent .338 Win. Mag. cartridge.
The 24-inch alloy steel barrel is free of iron sights, leaving a clean profile for optic use. Integral proprietary bases are machined directly into the alloy steel receiver, and the included 1-inch rings let the buyer mount a scope without additional hardware.
A checkered American walnut stock offers secure grip panels, a black grip cap, sling swivel studs, and Ruger’s signature red recoil pad that helps manage magnum recoil while maintaining the rifle’s period-correct look.
A hinged floorplate magazine holds three rounds in the well plus one in the chamber, providing a useful 3+1 capacity for large-game hunting without compromising the rifle’s sleek lines.
