Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger M77 is a bolt-action rifle produced by Sturm, Ruger & Company. It was designed by Jim Sullivan during his three years with Ruger. The rifle features a traditional Mauser-style two-lugged bolt with a claw extractor. From the beginning, the Ruger M77 was intended as a modernized Mauser 98, though numerous changes were made. Bill Ruger wanted to use investment casting in place of a forged receiver. The Sullivan-designed bolt was dispensed with the Mauser blade-type ejector, and instead, the simpler plunger style was used. A two-position tang safety and redesigned trigger system were also designed from scratch. Perhaps the most novel feature of the M77 is the only one that has not been redesigned, the angled action screw. The front action screw of traditional bolt-action rifles draws the receiver directly down against the stock. The M77 uses an angled screw that draws the action down and to the rear, tightly bedding it against the stock. The M77 has undergone one minor and two major redesigns. The first change involved incorporating a proprietary scope mount milled integral with the receiver. The first rifles had simple rounded-top receivers drilled and tapped for separate scope mounts.
The M77 was entirely retooled and reintroduced in 1991 as the Model 77 Mark II. The safety, bolt, trigger, and bottom metal were substantially 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 fixed blade ejector. Finally, a three-position safety allowed the bolt to be operated while the gun was still on safe, making unloading of the rifle less hazardous. Ruger also eliminated the factory-supplied adjustable trigger available on the original M77.
Along with introducing 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. One of the most iconic variants of the M77 Mark II was its All-Weather Model, popularly named the "boat paddle" stock model, praised among Alaskan hunters and guides. High-end variants, such as the M77 Ruger Safari Express Rifle (standard length action) and the Ruger Magnum Express Rifle (long magnum action), are provided with Circassian walnut stocks and express sights.
