About This Firearm
The Ruger M77 Hawkeye Hunter is a stainless and walnut bolt-action .30-06 Springfield built for wet-weather deer and elk hunting. It has an MSRP of $1,499. Its barrel comes threaded 5/8-24 under a factory thread protector and its receiver wears a 20 MOA Picatinny rail on four #8-40 screws, so the rifle leaves the box ready for a suppressor and for glass.
No sights are fitted, and no magazine ships with it because four rounds sit in an internal box under a hinged solid steel floorplate. The LC6 trigger has no pull weight given by Ruger and no adjustment screw, and the three-position safety sits on the tang. The barrel is cold hammer forged and free-floated, and the American walnut stock is fitted to a stainless barreled action.
If you're cross-shopping, the Winchester Model 70 Featherweight has an MSRP of $1,369.99, weighs 7.00 lbs against the Ruger's 7.40 lbs and holds five rounds, but it is blued steel with a bare muzzle and no rail in the box. The CZ-USA 600 Plus Lux has an MSRP of $1,199, carries removable fiber optic iron sights and a Remington 700 mounting interface, and CZ guarantees sub-MOA three-shot groups at 100 yards with match factory ammunition, though it weighs 8.15 lbs. Of the three, the Ruger is the one that needs nothing added to take a suppressor.

Strengths & Limitations
- A non-rotating Mauser-type extractor controls the round from the moment it leaves the magazine, and a fixed blade ejector throws the case clear.
- The floorplate is hinged, so the magazine empties in one motion without cycling live rounds through the chamber.
- Scope mounts are machined into the solid steel receiver underneath the rail, so Ruger's own rings go on directly if the rail comes off.
- The LC6 trigger has no adjustment, so a lighter pull means buying a trigger.
- Nothing detachable holds the ammunition, so a spare loaded magazine is not an option for a fast reload.
- Ruger puts studs in the stock for sling swivels and nothing else, so sights, rings and a scope are all purchases on top of the rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the rifle need drilling for a scope?
No. The rail is already screwed down, and the integral mounts machined into the receiver sit underneath it, so both routes are there without a gunsmith.
Why is the rail sloped?
The slope tilts the scope down, which hands the elevation turret more travel to come back up with for a long shot.
Will the CZ's Remington 700 bases fit the Ruger?
No. The Ruger receiver is cut for Ruger's own integral mounts, and the Picatinny rail on top is the interface that other brands' rings fit.
