Special Features

• The Mauser-type non-rotating controlled round feed extractor grips each cartridge the moment it clears the magazine, providing positive, reliable feeding and extraction under demanding field conditions where a push-feed system can lose control of the round
• The 1-in-10 inch twist rate stabilizes the full spectrum of 9.3x62 bullet weights from 200 grains through 300 grains, giving the shooter access to every factory load and handload option the cartridge supports
• Two cross bolts run through the laminate stock to add structural rigidity and keep the action consistently bedded through hard use, extreme temperatures, and repeated wet and dry cycles
• The brushed stainless finish on both the barrel and receiver resists corrosion and surface oxidation in rain, snow, saltwater air, and high-humidity hunting environments without the care demands of a blued finish
• Express sights provide an instinctive, wide V-notch rear and bright white bead front for fast target acquisition in dense cover and close-range situations where a scope is too slow to bring to bear
• Integral scope mounts machined directly into the stainless receiver eliminate a separate base, reducing the number of parts that can come loose on a remote hunt and providing a stable, repeatable platform for any ring system
• The 20-inch barrel shortens the overall rifle to 43 inches, making it easier to carry, shoulder quickly, and maneuver in thick brush where a standard-length rifle becomes a liability

Practical Benefits

• The 9.3x62mm cartridge pushes heavy, high-sectional-density bullets at velocities that deliver deep penetration and reliable expansion on elk, moose, bear, Cape buffalo, and other large heavy-bodied game across a wide range of hunting distances
• The three-position safety locks the bolt in the rear position for safe carry with a round chambered, then transitions to fire without cycling the action, keeping you ready when a shot opens fast in the field
• The black and gray laminate stock holds its geometry through moisture and temperature extremes, eliminating the warping and swelling that can affect wood stocks in wet or cold conditions
• The compact 43-inch overall length and 7 pound 12 ounce weight make this rifle manageable on long pack-in hunts without sacrificing the mass needed to steady a heavy-hitting cartridge at the moment of the shot
• Whether you are hunting dangerous game on a guided safari, tracking brown bear in remote terrain, or building a dedicated large-caliber bolt gun for North American dangerous game, your Ruger M77 Hawkeye Alaskan Bush Rifle gives you the controlled-feed reliability and stopping-power cartridge that serious hunters trust when the margin for error disappears

The Ruger M77 Hawkeye Alaskan Bush Rifle (57197) in 9.3x62mm is a dependable option for dangerous game hunters who demand controlled-feed reliability, stainless durability, and a cartridge purpose-built for the largest and most challenging game in the world.
