Some handling marks, light surface scratches, and minor finish wear are visible on the stock as shown in photos. Why Collectors Want This Rifle: The Ruger M77, introduced in 1968, was designed by Ruger and Lenard Brownell to bring classic pre-64 Winchester Model 70/Mauser-style features — controlled feed, claw extractor, hinged floorplate, tang safety — into an affordable, modern production rifle. Early production examples like this 1979-dated M77 in the ever-popular .30-06 Springfield chambering are increasingly sought after by vintage Ruger collectors and hunters seeking a dependable classic-pattern rifle.
