At its core, the Ruger M77 is the result of innovative design decisions led by Jim Sullivan, with influences drawn from the Mauser K98 platform and modernized to meet the demands of post-1960s hunters. The Mauser-style claw extractor ensures reliable feeding and extraction, a critical feature for controlled round feed systems that many hunters prefer for dangerous game or adverse conditions. The rifle's use of investment casting and a proprietary angled bedding screw system provides exceptional strength and secure bedding of the action to the stock. Though early M77s were initially hampered by inconsistent barrel quality, later models—such as this one—benefited from Ruger’s in-house barrel production, which significantly improved accuracy and consistency. The rifle’s tang-mounted safety and redesigned trigger system make it not only safer but also more intuitive for the shooter. Altogether, this M77 variant in .257 Roberts exemplifies the blend of traditional craftsmanship and forward-thinking design that has cemented Ruger’s reputation in the bolt-action rifle market.
