The Bolt-Action 77/357 features a five-round rotary magazine and is offered with a durable, weather-resistant stainless steel barrel and receiver and a rugged, black composite stock. This is a lightweight (5-1/2 pounds), quick-handling rifle.
The 77/357 is an effective tool for hunting medium-sized game - especially in heavy cover. Bullet velocities of .357 Magnum ammunition increase significantly when fired out of the 77/357's 18-1/2" cold hammer-forged barrel. Furthermore, the flush-fit, five-shot rotary magazine does not protrude at the rifle's balance point and, unlike tube-fed rifles, the Ruger 77/357 can be readily loaded and unloaded.
