Ruger M77 International

The Ruger M77 International is a bolt-action rifle featuring a full-length Mannlicher-style stock that extends to the muzzle. It was introduced by Sturm, Ruger & Company as a variant of the popular M77 bolt-action rifle. The International model is chambered in medium calibers such as .243 Winchester, .308 Winchester, and .30-06 Springfield. The full-length stock provides protection to the barrel in rough terrain and gives the rifle a classic, elegant appearance. The rifle features a controlled-round feed action based on the Mauser 98 system. The M77 International was popular with hunters who traveled in brushy or mountainous terrain where a full-stock rifle offered advantages.
