What's Included
- Ruger Model 77R bolt-action rifle chambered in 7mm Rem. Mag.
Built during Ruger’s original tang-safety series (1968–1984), this Model 77R represents the classic configuration with a two-position tang safety and blued finish. The 73- serial prefix denotes 1979 production.
The action pairs a Mauser-style external claw extractor with a push-feed bolt and plunger ejector, providing reliable feeding and positive extraction. Integral Ruger scope-mount bases are machined into the receiver; rings are not installed.
The rifle is set up with an internal box magazine and a hinged floorplate for a 3+1 capacity. Ruger’s angled front action screw bedding system is present, designed to secure the barreled action firmly into the stock.
The checkered walnut stock includes a pistol-grip profile, sling swivel studs, and a red/orange recoil pad with black spacer. Length of pull measures 13.75 inches. The 24 inch sporter barrel is cleanly profiled and equipped without iron sights.
