Ruger 77/22 RS .22 LR Bolt-Action Rifle, 20-Inch Sporter Barrel, American Walnut, Bushnell Banner Scope (1985)
This 1985 Ruger 77/22 RS in .22 LR pairs classic Ruger build quality with useful factory features and included glass. It carries a 20-inch sporter-contour barrel with factory open sights, a checkered American walnut stock, and integral Ruger scope bases with rings. A Bushnell Banner .22 1-inch fixed duplex scope is mounted, and two 10-round rotary magazines are included.
The 77/22 platform uses Ruger’s detachable rotary magazine system with a flush fit, providing a 10+1 capacity in a compact profile. The steel receiver incorporates integral Ruger scope bases, and the included rings are installed for a solid, aligned mounting interface.
The stock is American walnut with a satin polyurethane finish, cut checkering, a black grip cap with Ruger medallion, and sling swivel studs. Length of pull measures 13.75 inches, and the rifle features Ruger’s three-position safety.
Factory sights consist of a hooded gold-bead front and a folding leaf rear that adjusts for windage and elevation. The 20-inch sporter-contour barrel balances well and complements the RS configuration’s sighting setup.
A Bushnell Banner .22 1-inch fixed duplex scope is installed in the Ruger rings, offering a straightforward, .22-specific optic with a 1-inch tube. Manufactured in the USA in 1985, this 77/22 RS represents the 1980s era of the series with the features shooters look for.
