The Ruger M77 Hawkeye Long Range Target is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Win with a 26-inch cold hammer-forged barrel and 10-round capacity. At 11 lbs, it's built for stability at the bench rather than light carry in the field. The speckled black/brown laminate stock with matte black receiver gives it a utilitarian look that holds up to weather.

Detailed Features 

The Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor is one of the more reliable extraction designs in bolt-action rifles — it grips the cartridge from the magazine and maintains control through the entire feed cycle. The Ruger Precision Rifle Hybrid muzzle brake reduces both recoil and muzzle rise, which helps with quick target reacquisition for follow-up shots. 
 
The stock has a two-way adjustable comb and adjustable length of pull, so multiple shooters can get a consistent cheek weld without swapping stocks. The two-stage adjustable trigger gives flexibility for shooters who want a heavier first stage or a lighter break. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

• Competitive Shooting: The 26-inch barrel, 10-round capacity, and adjustable trigger make it well-suited for precision rifle competitions. 
   
• Precision Hunting: The .308 Win chambering with a 26-inch barrel gives a velocity advantage over shorter hunting rifles, useful at extended ranges. 
   
• Range Training: At 11 lbs, it's a bench rifle. The adjustable stock accommodates different shooters at a shared rifle.

The Ruger M77 Hawkeye LR Target in .308 Win draws consistent praise for accuracy. The heavy 26-inch barrel contributes to both velocity and thermal stability during sustained shooting, and users report tight groupings at long range. Build quality and the Mauser-style extractor get positive mentions, and the laminate stock is seen as durable and weather-resistant.

The adjustable trigger is a common point of appreciation among shooters who want to dial in pull weight and break characteristics for their preference. The adjustable comb is also noted as practical for fitting the rifle to different shooters without gunsmithing.

Weight is the primary trade-off. At 11 lbs before optics, it's not a carry rifle, and hunters who want to glass-and-stalk all day will find it tiring. Price conversations are balanced — most owners consider it a fair value for a purpose-built long-range platform, while budget-conscious buyers weigh it against less expensive options. Aftermarket optics and accessories get discussed frequently among owners looking to build out the platform.
