Details

All 77/17 rifles share some important features, including the deluxe Ruger Model 77 rimfire bolt action. This is a clever dual lug, rear-locking action with a heat-treated steel receiver and stainless steel bolt. The bolt face incorporates dual extractors; bolt lift is 90 degrees.

This action features an ultra-fast lock time. The safety is a 3-position type similar to that on the Ruger Model 77 Mk. II (and Winchester Model 70) centerfire rifles, which is located at the right rear of the action. Ruger 17 HMR barrels are hammer forged and rifled with a six groove, 1:9" twist. Iron sights are not supplied on any Model 77/17 rifle.

The receiver incorporates Ruger's patented integral scope mounting bases, and Ruger's steel rings are supplied with all 77/17 rifles. I have long regarded this as the industry's best scope mounting system. Certainly, the scope bases will never shoot loose!

M77/17 rifles are fed from a detachable, 9-shot, rotary magazine. The patented Ruger rotary magazine is made from glass-filled nylon and incorporates stainless steel lips. This has proven to be a very reliable feed system and the magazine fits flush with the bottom of the rifle, making for a clean appearance.
