This week, we’re taking a closer look at the Ruger M77 Hawkeye Predator. A bona fide coyote killer chambered in four flat-firing cartridges, the M77 utilizes a Mauser-style controlled-round-feed action. With a Green Mountain Laminate stock and a stainless steel barrel and receiver, the M77 Hawkeye Predator can handle the worst of weather and still deliver an accurate shot. For more information on this rugged Ruger, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Editor in Chief Scott Olmsted and Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $1439-$1469
