Ruger M77 Hawkeye Compact Rifle, .308 Win, 16.5-Inch Barrel

The Ruger M77 Hawkeye Compact rifle in .308 Winchester with a 16.5-inch stainless barrel and black laminate stock (brand part no. 17110) is built as a shorter, lighter-handling platform well suited to smaller-framed and younger shooters. Ruger cold hammer-forges the barrel for precision and longevity, and a non-rotating Mauser-type controlled-round-feed extractor with a fixed blade-type ejector provides positive case extraction. Patented integral scope mounts are machined directly into the solid-steel receiver, and scope rings are included. A hinged solid-steel floorplate with an engraved Ruger logo allows easy unloading, and a 3-position safety lets the shooter lock the bolt or load and unload with the safety engaged. The ergonomic stock includes wrap-around checkering, and the smooth LC6 trigger breaks crisp out of the box. Among compact bolt action rifles, this Hawkeye Compact configuration favors smaller-statured hunters and young shooters starting out on centerfire cartridges.
