(NYSE: RGR)  is proud to announce the  Ruger\u00ae 77\/357\u2122, a lightweight, bolt-action rifle chambered in the  venerable .357 Magnum and fed via a rotary magazine.<\/p>\n<p>The bolt-action 77\/357 features a five-round rotary magazine and is  offered in the Ruger All-Weather\u00ae configuration, which includes a  durable, weather-resistant stainless steel barrel and receiver and a  rugged, black composite stock. Although it is fitted with fully  adjustable iron sights, the 77\/357 also ships with patented Ruger scope  rings, allowing a variety of sighting options for this lightweight  (5-1\/2 pounds), quick-handling rifle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The 77\/357 is an effective tool for hunting medium-sized game &#8211;  especially in heavy cover,&#8221; said Bruce Rozum, Chief Rifle Engineer at  Ruger. &#8220;Bullet velocities of .357 Magnum ammunition increase  significantly when fired out of the 77\/357&#8217;s 18 1\/2&#8243; cold hammer-forged  barrel. In testing, Hornady\u00ae 140 grain FTX\u00ae loads were clocked at over  1820 feet per second. Furthermore, the flush-fit, five-shot rotary  magazine does not protrude at the rifle&#8217;s balance point and, unlike  tube-fed rifles, the Ruger 77\/357 can be readily loaded and unloaded,&#8221;  he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Ruger 77\/357, or to learn more about the extensive, award winning line of Ruger firearms, visit  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Ruger.com\" target=\"_blank\">Ruger.com<\/a> or  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Facebook.com\/Ruger\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook.com\/Ruger<\/a> .
