Built for the Last Frontier

The Ruger M77 Alaskan Bush Rifle in .35 Whelen is purpose-built for extreme environments, big-game stopping power, and absolute reliability. Designed with input from Alaska bush pilots and professional hunters, this rugged bolt-action rifle blends old-school dependability with modern enhancements.

Featuring a 20” medium-weight barrel and a durable brushed stainless finish, it’s ready for high moisture and hard knocks. The black and gray laminate stock offers rock-solid stability while resisting the warping effects of wet and cold climates. Ruger’s three-position safety and controlled-round feed bolt ensure dependable cycling under duress.

The express-style iron sights—V-notch rear and white bead front—are ideal for fast target acquisition in thick brush, while the 1-in-12” twist rate stabilizes heavier .35 Whelen projectiles for deep-penetrating performance on moose, bear, or elk.

This Lipsey’s Exclusive variant delivers the features hunters demand when every shot counts, every time.
