RUGER 57196 M77 HAWKEYE ALASKAN BUSH 35 WHELEN 20" BBL

Description:
The Ruger M77 Hawkeye Alaskan Bush Rifle (57196) is a bolt-action centerfire rifle chambered in 35 Whelen, produced as a Lipsey's Exclusive for big game hunters who need a hard-working, weather-resistant rifle built for demanding backcountry conditions. This 35 Whelen bolt-action hunting rifle for moose, bear, and elk delivers controlled-round feed reliability, fast express sights, and brushed stainless construction in a compact, brush-friendly package.

• Barrel: 20 inches, medium weight, 1-in-12 inch twist rate
• Finish: Brushed stainless steel on barrel and receiver
• Stock: Black and gray laminate with two stock cross bolts
• Sights: Express style, adjustable V-notch rear and white bead front
• Scope mounts: Integral, machined directly into receiver

Special Features

• The Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor grips each cartridge from the moment it leaves the magazine, ensuring positive feeding and extraction even when cycling quickly under pressure in the field
• Two cross bolts run through the laminate stock to add structural rigidity and keep the action bedded consistently through temperature swings, wet conditions, and hard pack-in use
• The brushed stainless finish on both the barrel and receiver resists corrosion and surface oxidation in rain, snow, and high-humidity environments without the maintenance demands of a blued rifle
• Express sights place a wide V-notch rear alongside a bright white bead front, giving the shooter a fast, instinctive sight picture in dense cover where a scope can slow target acquisition
• The integral scope mounts machined directly into the solid-steel receiver eliminate the added variable of a separate base, providing a stable, repeatable mounting surface for scope rings
• The black and gray laminate stock resists warping and cracking across extreme temperature and moisture changes, maintaining consistent geometry over years of hard field use
• The 20-inch barrel reduces overall rifle length for easier carry and maneuverability in thick brush without meaningful sacrifice to 35 Whelen terminal performance at hunting distances

Practical Benefits

• The 35 Whelen cartridge drives heavy-for-caliber bullets at velocities that deliver deep, reliable penetration on elk, moose, bear, and other large heavy game at moderate field distances
• The compact 20-inch barrel makes this rifle manageable in tight quarters, whether you are working through dense cover on a close-range stalk or packing it into remote terrain on foot
• The three-position safety allows you to carry the rifle loaded with the bolt locked, then transition to fire without cycling a round out of the chamber, keeping you ready when a shot opportunity opens fast
• Integral scope mounts mean you can mount your preferred optic directly on the receiver using standard Ruger rings, keeping the system simple and reducing the number of parts that can come loose in the field
• Whether you are tracking dangerous game in heavy timber, hunting elk in high-country drainages, or building a dedicated backcountry big game rifle, your Ruger M77 Hawkeye Alaskan Bush Rifle gives you a platform that holds up to the work you put it through

The Ruger M77 Hawkeye Alaskan Bush Rifle (57196) in 35 Whelen is a proven platform and a dependable option for serious big game hunters who demand stainless durability, express-sight speed, and controlled-feed reliability in one purpose-built bolt gun.
