The reason they insist all Rugers are CRF is two fold..........1) they are too young to remember when all Rugers were push feeds........2) there are a lot of misinformed people who believe that as soon as they see a long claw extractor that it is a controlled feed action, there is even some who believe that the long claw extractor is what makes it a CRF action.

I'm pretty sure my m77 mk ii in 7 wsm is push feed
Because that's what Ruger called them.
As per Wiki:
M77 Mark II
The M77 was retooled almost entirely and reintroduced in 1991 as the Mark II. The safety, bolt, and trigger were completely redesigned. The claw extractor was retained, but the bolt face was opened up to allow controlled-round feeding. The plunger ejector was replaced with a Mauser style blade ejector. Finally, a three-position safety allowed the bolt to be operated while the gun was still on safe, making unloading of the rifle less hazardous. Ruger also eliminated the adjustable trigger that came stock on the original M77.

Why do people call the M77 that came out after original tang safety M77 a MKII ??
I have never seen a M77 marked as a M77 MKII can anyone point me in the right direction?
MK is short for Mark, easier to type 2 letters. Same as people call a Winchester M70. Its stamped model 70 not m70...
As requested. The one on the left if MKII PFand the right one is an Hawkeye CRF
I have not seen that bolt face before, is it out of a target model? I wonder how far up the Mk 2 line that style did make it. Goes to show, you learn something new every day.

Both of those are CRF type bolts. The push feed rifle is the original M77 with the tang safety NOT the MKII or Hawkeye.

Interesting. From what I can gather off the 'net, Early MKII rifles were push feed as evidenced by this pic.
Yes, I know. Just like the picture of my two bolts showed and you were saying they were both CRF.

I need my eyes checked apparently. My apologies to you.
