Ruger M77 Hawkeye Compact .308 Win 16.5″ 37139

The Ruger M77 Hawkeye Compact is a short-action bolt rifle chambered in .308 Winchester with a 16.5-inch barrel and an American walnut stock. It combines Ruger’s Mauser-type controlled-round-feed extractor, a one-piece stainless steel bolt, and a hinged steel floorplate for reliable feeding and straightforward unloading. The rifle is finished in satin blued metal with wrap-around checkering on the grip and forend, and it ships with integral scope mounts and scope rings.

This rifle suits field hunting and recreational precision or range shooting. For optics, consider a 3-9×40 variable hunting scope (priced well under $1,000) mounted in the included rings to leverage the rifle’s balance and shorter barrel for mid-range accuracy.
