The Ruger Model 77/17 was conceived as an elegant small game and target rifle. It features integral scope mounts, machined directly on the solid-steel receiver, which provides a stable mounting surface for scope rings. Solid, heat-treated alloy and stainless steel actions feature a rugged, stainless steel bolt with 90 bolt lift and ultra-fast lock time for added accuracy. The cold hammer-forged barrel results in ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy, longevity, and easy cleaning. The Model 77/17 also has a three-position safety, detachable rotary magazine, and sling swivel studs.
