Ruger M77 Receiver Pattern for Scope Rings

[Schmoops]

Howdy folks!

I have a 1982 Ruger M77, the old tang safety model, that I’d like to outfit with a new scope setup. I’d really like to get a set of the Hawkins Long Range Hybrid rings, as I’ve got the lightweight tactical rings on another rifle and love em. Trouble is, I don’t know if the receiver has a ‘standard’ Remington 700 profile. Ruger customer service has thus far been unhelpful, though I’m still trying with them. When I was looking at the Leupold backcountry ring mounts, they did direct me to the Remington 700 option…I’m just skeptical.

Anyone have info about the receiver pattern on this gun? Thank you!

Is it a round top? Or does it have the usual ruger integral base?

I have an old tang safety 77 as well and it’s got an integrated Ruger specific dovetail. I think Warne makes some direct mount rings for it. Someone probably makes a pic rail but I don’t know.

If it is a roundtop, rem 700 rings will work

Use the Leupold rings made for Ruger 77. Do not use the Warne vertical split ones. They will pinch your scope tube. And be prepared to lap.

No it’s not a Remington 700 profile. Rugers use their own integrated rail system. Not my favorite system for precision, but they are plenty strong.
