Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Engineered by Sturm, Ruger & Co. as a modern homage to classic dangerous-game hunting rifles, the M77 Hawkeye African combines safari-grade aesthetic appointments with time-tested mechanical reliability. Built around a solid steel receiver, the Hawkeye African features a non-rotating Mauser-type controlled round feed claw extractor, a fixed blade ejector, and Ruger's refined LC6 trigger mechanism. Finished in a rich non-glare satin blue, the African variant is bedded inside a slim American walnut stock featuring a contrasting ebony forend tip, classic red rubber recoil pad, crisp cut checkering, and a barrel-band front swivel stud designed to protect the shooter's support hand under heavy recoil. This specific example is an authentic and highly desirable Ruger M77 Hawkeye African chambered in the powerful medium-bore .35 Whelen cartridge, bearing serial number 712-88024. It features a 24-inch cold hammer-forged barrel w/ shallow-V express iron sights, a satin blued finish, and a rich American walnut stock w/ ebony forend accent. Offered in new-in-box / mint condition, this complete package includes its original matching serialized factory outer box, owner's manual, (1) pair of factory 1" Ruger scope rings, cable lock, and promotional paperwork. A pristine, hard-hitting big-game setup w/ a mirror-clean bore and tight lockup, this Hawkeye African in .35 Whelen is ready for North American or African big game.
