Over time, the gun has been chambered for the .22 LR, .22 WMR, .22 Hornet and the .17 HMR.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

Over time, the gun has been chambered for the .22 LR, .22 WMR, .22 Hornet and the .17 HMR.
The Model 77/17 is very pleasant to look at and hold, thanks to Ruger's classic treatment of the walnut stock. With no fancy frills, Monte Carlo comb or white-line spacers, the rifle calls to mind its Model 77 MKII centerfire counterpart, and aside from the fact the 77/17 stock is a little shorter on the front end and the action is smaller, it could be an identical twin.
This is a full-size, comfortable rimfire rifle built to adult hunting standards.The outside finish of the Model 77/17 is satin and looks like the oil finishes of old but is really a high-durability modern polyurethane. There are no runs, and it's smooth to the touch. The checkering pattern, pistol grip cap and the general feel are certainly those of the Ruger school. There is more than an ample supply of point checkering cut handsomely on both the pistol grip and the fore-end of the rifle. The pistol grip cap sports the Ruger logo, and sling swivel studs and a black butt pad and spacer complete the package.
Internal inletting is extremely sharp, with all corners and contours done in a quality manner. The 22-inch hammer-forged barrel hugs the stock very closely, with no unsightly gaps along the lines where metal meets wood. The investment castings that make up the receiver, trigger guard assembly and other interior parts are well finished and polished to a rich satin hue. The barrel is attached to the receiver via twin longitudinal screws that go through a heavy V-block retainer to pull the barrel tightly into the receiver, rigidly locking both together. This innovative rimfire rifle features a two-piece stainless steel bolt. The front part of the bolt is non-rotating and incorporates most of the guide rail area, which runs back and into the dual locking lugs for support. The rearmost section of the bolt is the rotating part and, aside from helping the bolt run true within the receiver raceway, provides the lockup, via opposing locking lugs, and keeps the close tolerances needed to control headspace. The bolt face has dual extractors for faultless ejection of the .17 HMR case. The 77/17 has a traditional three-position safety: all the way forward is the "fire" position; middle blocks the trigger but allows bolt operation; and all the way back is the fully locked position. Capacity of the Model 77/17's rotary magazine is nine rounds of .17 HMR. The synthetic magazine, which is reinforced with alloy steel retaining lips, sits flush with the bottom of the floorplate. These compact magazines are simple in operation and surprisingly rugged.
For the casual shooter, plinker or small game hunter, the Ruger 77/17 is a valuable addition to his rifle battery.Contents:
