Scarce Ruger Model 77 in .35 Whelen w/ Tang Safety & Nikon Scope
Description: This Ruger Model 77 rifle chambered in .35 Whelen is in excellent condition and is a scarce find. This example is what Ruger calls an "original tang safety model" manufactured at the same time as they were manufacturing the newer Model 77 Mark 2. The Ruger Model 77 rifle is a classic American made hunting rifle with a reputation for being extremely tough and durable, reliable in all conditions, and accurate right out of the box. The original Model 77s were made between 1968 and 1992 in a variety of calibers. This rifle is serial number 772-39964, and was made in 1989. What makes this particular rifle desirable and scarce is the chambering; .35 Whelen. Ruger did not make many Model 77s in the classic .35 Whelen cartridge and they are not often encountered for sale. This is also a "tang safety" rifle, much preferred by enthusiasts and hunters over the later bolt-mounted safety. This Ruger Model 77 is very attractive retaining 97% of the original factory blue finish and sports an attractive American Walnut stock with a checkered wrist and forearm. The stock has some very minor handling marks but is in excellent condition overall and is completely free from cracks or repairs. The checkered panels show no wear and are still crisp and clean. The stock has a factory red Ruger recoil pad and pulls 13.75 inches to the end of the pad. The stock has the factory sling swivel studs installed front and rear. The 22 inch barrel is fitted with Ruger's very good looking factory iron sights and it has a perfect bore. The bore is mirror bright with sharp lands and grooves and no pitting or erosion whatsoever. The black finished alloy trigger guard and floorplate are in great shape overall, but show some small scratches on the bottom of the trigger guard and a couple of small marks on the floorplate. This black paint-like finish could be touched up very easily if the new owner so chooses. This rifle comes with a Nikon 3-9x40 scope mounted on factory Ruger rings. The scope is in excellent shape with clear optics that are free from scratches or fogging, and both the elevation and windage adjustments work properly. This Ruger 77 in .35 Whelen is the complete package, it has every desirable feature you could ask for plus the rare chambering. It would be an excellent addition to any collection as an investment, or an equally great choice to take into the field capable of taking any North American game including Elk and Black Bears.
