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.
