This Ruger M77 in 7mm Remington Magnum is a no-nonsense hunting rifle built in the era when American bolt guns were designed to go anywhere and drop anything. This is an early tang safety example arguably the most sought-after configuration offering classic lines, rock-solid construction, and field-proven reliability. With its original box still in the picture, this one steps beyond shooter status and into collector territory.
Chambered in 7mm Rem Mag, this rifle delivers flat-shooting, high-velocity performance that excels in open-country hunting. Expect excellent long-range capability with minimal drop, making it ideal for western big game pursuits. The 24-inch barrel maximizes velocity while maintaining balance, and Ruger’s controlled round feed system ensures reliable chambering even under harsh conditions.
The walnut stock features clean factory checkering and classic ergonomics that sit naturally in the shoulder. The tang safety is fast, intuitive, and highly favored by seasoned hunters. Iron sights remain intact, while the receiver is ready for scope mounting giving you flexibility whether you're running glass or keeping it traditional.
The 7mm Remington Magnum is a powerhouse cartridge known for its versatility across a wide range of game. From whitetail and mule deer to elk and larger North American species, it delivers the velocity, energy, and accuracy needed for shots at extended ranges. This is a caliber that rewards confident shooters and performs when it counts.
This is the kind of rifle collectors quietly chase and rarely let go—a true early-production Ruger M77 from the coveted tang safety era, backed by its original factory box, which almost never survives the decades. You’re looking at a rifle that bridges the gap between hard-use hunting tool and rising collector asset, with all the right boxes checked: correct configuration, desirable chambering, and untouched originality. These aren’t getting easier to find—especially not like this. If you know Ruger, you already understand what’s sitting in front of you… and if you don’t, this is your chance to get ahead of the curve before the rest of the market catches up.
