Ruger Hawkeye African .416 Ruger Bolt Action - 23" - American Walnut - Rifle

The Ruger M77 Hawkeye African in .416 Ruger is purpose-built for dangerous game hunting — a safari-grade bolt rifle chambered in Ruger's own proprietary big bore cartridge, delivering .416 Rigby performance in a standard-length long action. At 400 grains and over 2,300 feet per second, the .416 Ruger is purpose-matched to the largest and most dangerous game animals on earth, and the Hawkeye African is built around managing everything that comes with it.

The Ruger M77 Hawkeye African is a long-action bolt-action rifle chambered in .416 Ruger, built on a satin blued steel receiver with a 23-inch hammer-forged satin blued steel barrel, American walnut stock with ebony forend cap, and Ruger's removable muzzle brake system.

The Ruger Muzzle Brake System includes a removable radial-port muzzle brake that significantly reduces felt recoil from the .416 Ruger's substantial impulse — a practical necessity for shot-to-shot recovery and accurate follow-up shots on dangerous game. A dynamically-matched muzzle weight is also included for use when the brake is not preferred, maintaining the rifle's balance and harmonics. The large white bead front sight and express-style windage-adjustable V-notch rear sight provide the fast, instinctive sight picture required when engaging dangerous game at close range — no scope required, though integral scope bases remain on the receiver. The LC6 trigger delivers a crisp single-stage pull. The Mauser-style controlled-round feed extractor maintains positive case control through the entire feed cycle, and the fixed blade ejector positively ejects spent cases as the bolt is drawn fully rearward. The American walnut stock features wrap-around checkering on the grip and forend, rounded contours throughout, a red rubber recoil pad, and front sling swivel with barrel band. The solid steel hinged floorplate with Ruger logo releases via a tab inside the trigger guard for fast unloading in the field.
