The Ruger 77/22 Rifle in .22 Hornet (Ruger part no. 7225) is part of Ruger’s storied family of 77-Series bolt-action rifles, built with a cold hammer-forged barrel that delivers ultra-precise rifling for exceptional accuracy and longevity. This 77/22 pairs a rugged, stainless steel bolt with a 90-degree bolt throw and rapid lock time for added accuracy, along with a detachable rotary magazine that uses a unique rotor to separate cartridges for reliable feeding. Integral scope mounts are machined directly onto the solid-steel receiver, eliminating a potential source of looseness in the field, while a 3-position safety lets shooters lock the bolt to load or unload with the safety engaged.
