Owners of the Ruger 77/357 frequently cite the pistol-caliber bolt gun concept as the main draw, particularly the ability to share ammunition with revolvers. The stainless receiver and threaded barrel are seen as practical features for a hunting or truck-gun role.

The Desolve Bare camo pattern is polarizing. Hunters who use it in mixed terrain appreciate the neutral tones; others find the reduced-coverage application looks unfinished and prefer solid stocks. The synthetic construction draws little complaint given the intended field use.

Trigger feel is a common topic. Most owners find it acceptable for a hunting rifle but note it is not match-grade, and some fit aftermarket options. The 5-round capacity is occasionally criticized for a magazine-fed bolt rifle, though most practical shooters accept it for the intended purpose.
