Ruger M77 Hawkeye Mag Conversion ????

[mildcustom2]

Does anyone know if anyone makes a mag conversion for the Ruger M77 Hawkeye to get rid of the hinge plate they currently use on factory guns?

Thanx for your help.

I'm pretty sure no such animal exists.

It is not too difficult to mag M14 mags fit the short action M77's.

From what i understand, they are not true detachable mags, they just up the capacity.

Unless you are in and out of vehicles all day, i don't know why anyone would ant to take a fine hinged floorplate rifle and scab on a detach magazine...

I believe they are steel now too, not pot metal......

Except for triggers, there doesn't seem to be too much aftermarket stuff for the M77's like there is on the Remingtons. There are no picatinny rails available either - just a ruger to weaver conversion that Burris makes

After handling one I believe thats because there is nothing on the MKII/Hawkeye that needs to be changed .

Except for the trigger on the newer Mark IIs ( can't speak for the Hawkeyes - never tried one), you're probably right. I was looking for a rail so I could quickly switch from glass optics to a red dot for heavy bush and dark morning and evening hunts

Warne makes quick-detach rings for Ruger integral bases, which would work if you went with something long enough like an Aimpoint 9000L.

Alternately, you could use a low-magnification variable like 1-4x or 1.5-5x. It would be almost as good a a red dot at low magnification, but with the ability to turn up the magnification for longer shots. This way, you would only need one optic.

Thanks for the hints TJH. i'm waiting for a 1-4x Trijicon accupoint to try out( waiting 3 months so far)

Thats funny! Ruger rings ARE quick detach if you have a twoonie with you!

Ruger M77's have quick detach rings...all you need is a toonie..and another scope setup in rings....
