The Ruger Hawkeye African: A Serious Rifle for Serious Hunters
The Ruger M77 Hawkeye African in 375 Ruger represents the pinnacle of American bolt-action rifle design. Built on proven principles refined over decades, this rifle delivers the accuracy, reliability, and handling characteristics demanded by hunters pursuing dangerous game.
Mechanical Excellence
The Trigger and Action
- The LC6 trigger delivers smooth, crisp performance right out of the box—no gunsmith required
- Non-rotating Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor provides the most positive case extraction system ever devised
- Fixed blade-type ejector positively ejects empty cases as the bolt cycles fully rearward
- Three-position safety allows you to lock the bolt or load and unload with the safety engaged
- Hinged solid-steel floorplate with patented latch enables fast unloading without chambering each cartridge
The Barrel and Accuracy
- Cold hammer-forged barrel delivers ultra-precise rifling for exceptional accuracy and longevity
- 23-inch barrel in satin blue finish
- Threaded muzzle accommodates the included Ruger Muzzle Brake System
- Shallow "express-style" windage-adjustable V-notch rear sight and large white bead front sight for instant target acquisition
The Ruger Muzzle Brake System
This innovative system includes three components:
- Removable radial-port muzzle brake that significantly reduces felt recoil—critical when handling magnum cartridges
- Dynamically-matched muzzle weight for shooters who prefer a brake-free configuration
- Thread protector for a clean appearance when neither brake nor weight is used
The system's genius lies in its design: switching between brake and weight does not shift the bullet's point of impact, allowing you to maintain zero regardless of which component you're using.
Stock and Handling
- American walnut stock with ebony forend cap
- Rounded contours along the barrel, bottom of stock, and pistol grip
- Wrap-around checkering on grip and forend for secure handling in all conditions
- 13.5-inch length of pull fits most shooters comfortably
- Barrel band-mounted swivel stud; optional forend swivel stud included
Scope Mounting
Patented integral scope mounts are machined directly into the solid-steel receiver, providing a stable mounting surface that eliminates a potential source of field looseness and inaccuracy. Scope rings are included.
