The Ruger M77 Hawkeye Compact chambered in .308 Winchester (brand part no. 37139) gives younger and smaller-framed shooters a proper all-around big-game cartridge in a rifle sized to fit them. The 16.5-inch barrel and shorter length of pull make the rifle easy to shoulder and carry, while .308 Winchester still delivers dependable terminal performance on deer and hogs. A satin blued metal finish over a genuine walnut stock gives the rifle classic looks, and the drilled-and-tapped receiver takes a scope base without extra gunsmithing. With a 4+1 round capacity, the Hawkeye Compact keeps enough .308 on hand for a hunt without unnecessary bulk on a rifle built for a smaller shooter.
