1988 Ruger M77 Rifle Tough 25.06 Rem 24" Medium-Weight Barrel - Excellent Condition

Description:
Overview
The 1988 Ruger M77 in .25-06 Remington with a 24" medium-weight barrel is a legendary flat-shooting, long-range hunting rifle. Praised for its robust tang-safety action and classic aesthetics, it excels on medium game but can be heavy to carry and benefits greatly from aftermarket trigger upgrades. 

Key Specifications & Features

• Caliber: .25-06 Remington
• Barrel Length: 24 inches
• Barrel Contour: Medium/Heavy sporter or Varmint taper (shared with magnum profiles)
• Action: Bolt-action with traditional tang safety (pre-Mark II)
• Stock: American Walnut
• Weight: Typically ranges from 8.25 to 8.5 lbs un-scoped
• Mounting System: Integral scope mounts machined into the receiver (Ruger rings included) 

Performance & Handling

• Recoil: The .25-06 round is highly regarded for its flat trajectory and light recoil, which is further tamed by the heavier 24-inch barrel. 
• Accuracy: The medium-weight barrel minimizes heat stringing compared to light sporter barrels. Many shooters find it performs best with lighter bullets, ranging from 75-grain to 100-grain, for predators, deer, and antelope.
• Handling: At over 8 lbs before adding glass, it is more of a stationary stand or calling rifle than an ideal mountain stalking gun. 
• Iconic Action: The original tang safety is highly coveted by collectors and hunters for its accessibility and natural feel.
• Integral Scope Rings: The machined receiver eliminates the need for bases and provides rock-solid optic mounting.
• Accuracy Potential: With proper handloads or finding the right factory ammunition, these rifles are sub-MOA capable.
