All mechanical components are made of heat-treated chrome-molybdenum or stainless
steel with music wire coil springs throughout the mechanism (except the magazine
spring). The rifle is available in short, standard, and magnum action lengths, and in right-
handed and left-handed versions.
The RUGER
® M77 ® MARK II Magnum Rifles are the first true “magnum length”
actions offered by Sturm, Ruger. By combining a specially reinforced and lengthened
receiver with a massive banded barrel, with an integral solid rib onto which special
folding leaf Express sights with wide “V” notches have been dovetail mounted, Ruger has
produced a modern big game rifle for the discriminating sportsman.
The RUGER
® M77 ® MARK II Express Rifles are the first deluxe standard length
actions offered by Sturm, Ruger. The barrel incorporates an integral solid rib onto which
special folding leaf Express sights with wide “V” notches have been dovetail mounted.
This is a modern deluxe rifle with superior quality wood and features usually found only
on custom rifles.
The RUGER
® M77 ® MARK II Target Rifle is purpose-built for long range precision
target shooting. It features a heavyweight hammer-forged barrel, target grade laminated
wood stock, and a special two-stage target trigger (see p. 11 “Special Safety Note”). All
exposed stainless steel components on the Target Grey
TM model feature Ruger’s unique,
corrosion-resistant, low-glare finish.
The RUGER
® M77 ® MARK II Compact Model has a specially designed stock with a
12 3/4” length of pull, shorter forend, and a 16 1/2” lightweight barrel for ease of carry in
dense cover.
The RUGER
®
M77
®
MARK II Frontier Rifle features a shorter stock and 16 1/2”
barrel like the Compact Model and includes front scope mounting barrel ribs. The
Frontier Rifle allows for fast “eyes-open” target acquisition in a short, easy to carry
package. Patented Ruger scope rings and a Weaver-style scope base adapter are included.
