Ruger's Model 77 Hawkeye in 204 RugerRuger Model 77 Hawkeye rifles have an air of century-old hunting rifle tradition. However, they are actually made
with very modern manufacturing processes, using very modern materials and finishes. The Model 77 Hawkeye is chambered for all of the popular standard cartridges, as well as a slew of new proprietary cartridges. This model translates well into a variety of chambers from the varmint shooting 204 Ruger right on up to the big 416 Ruger.Most other Ruger M77 Hawkeyes I've handled have a matte black metal finish. This model has an attractive deep black gloss finish from barrel to bottom metal. It didn't seem to mar or scuff in use and it cleans up easily with a quick cloth wipe. The bolt is stainless, as is the case with all Ruger bolt action models. The satin finished walnut used on Ruger stocks these days is not as plain as it once was. There is just enough contrast and figure in grain to set off the clean checkering and patterns and to give the rifle a touch of character.
