Our Assessment: The Ruger M77 Mark II chambered in .308 Winchester and adorned with a Hogue Stock is a union of legacy and modernity, providing reliability and comfort in one package. The M77 Mark II carries the venerable Mauser-type controlled-feed extractor system, a feature long associated with reliable cycling of rounds, whether in a sporting or high-stakes hunting environment. The .308 Winchester chambering further elevates the rifle’s utility, offering a cartridge that’s renowned for its balance of power and accuracy, making it a go-to choice for both big-game hunting and precision shooting.
The Hogue Stock, well-known for its durability and ergonomics, enhances the overall shooting experience. Overmolded with rubber, the stock offers a tactile grip, even in wet or cold conditions.

The rifle becomes an extension of the shooter, allowing for improved accuracy and a more enjoyable shooting experience overall.
To round off the package, the Ruger M77 Mark II includes a three-position safety. This permits the bolt to be locked, or to be operated while the rifle is on ‘safe,’ giving the user options for various field conditions. The synergy of a reliable platform, versatile chambering, and ergonomic stock make this variant of the Ruger M77 Mark II an attractive and capable choice for a wide range of shooting applications.
