Ruger M77 Hawkeye Stainless Barreled Action — Custom 26 inch Unmarked Barrel with Radial-Port Brake, Controlled-Round-Feed (2012)
This Ruger M77 Hawkeye is a stainless barreled action featuring a custom 26 inch unmarked barrel with a radial-port muzzle brake and the M77’s controlled-round-feed action. It was produced in 2012 by serial range and includes Ruger’s integral scope-mount bases machined into the receiver. The caliber is unmarked and unknown; a qualified gunsmith should perform a chamber cast to determine the exact caliber. Configured as presented for single-shot use and set up as a barreled action only, it offers a solid foundation for a precision build.

The M77 Hawkeye action is the controlled-round-feed design preferred for reliable cycling, and on this model the receiver is stainless with a matte/bead-blast finish. Ruger’s integral scope-mount bases are machined into the receiver for a secure optic interface when paired with Ruger rings.
The installed barrel is a 26 inch unmarked stainless tube capped with a radial-port muzzle brake. As presented, the barrel is not fully installed and is easily removable, making this a flexible starting point for fitting and final headspacing during a custom build.
Configured as a barreled action only, this setup is presented for single-shot use. There is no trigger assembly on the receiver, and the bolt does not have a safety assembly installed. The M77 Hawkeye design utilizes a three-position safety, but the safety assembly is not present on this example.
The caliber is unmarked and unknown. It is recommended to have a qualified gunsmith make a chamber cast to determine the exact caliber before use. An inspector’s boxed “12” mark is present, and the production year aligns with 2012 based on Ruger’s serial number range.
