*SOLD* 2004 Ruger M77 Mark II .270 WSM SS 22" *DESIRABLE 1ST YEAR PRODUCTION*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Ruger M77 is a classic American bolt-action hunting rifle produced by Sturm, Ruger & Company. Jim Sullivan designed it during his three years with Ruger. The rifle features a traditional Mauser-style two-lugged, controlled round feed bolt action with an external claw extractor, a three-position safety, integral mount bases, and an angled action screw to secure the stock to the mechanism. The M77 was retooled almost entirely and reintroduced in 1991 as the Mark II. A true controlled-round feed action the safety, bolt, and trigger were mildly redesigned. The claw extractor was retained, but the bolt face was opened to allow controlled-round feeding. The plunger ejector was replaced with a Mauser-style blade ejector. Finally, a three-position safety, similar to the Winchester M70 pre-64 rifle, allowed the bolt to be operated while the gun was still on safe, making unloading of the rifle less hazardous.

Ruger also eliminated the adjustable trigger that came stock on the original M77. Along with the introduction of the M77 Mark II, Ruger started manufacturing its own rifle barrels, eliminating accuracy inconsistency claims experienced in the former Tang Safety models. A broad spectrum of new chambers was released with this new rifle, from the .223 Remington up to large magnum calibers such as the .375 H&H Magnum, .416 Rigby and .505 Gibbs.
