About the Ruger 77/44
The Ruger 77/44 is a compact bolt-action rifle chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, using Ruger's patented rotary magazine. With its short 16.6-inch barrel and lightweight handling, it is optimized for brush hunting and short-range use. Features controlled round feeding and Ruger's three-position safety.
The 77-series rifles showcase Ruger's innovative rotary magazine design, which provides reliable feeding in a flush-fit profile that doesn't protrude below the stock.
