We are auctioning off a .270 Win. caliber Ruger® M77® Hawkeye® rifle. Ruger’s records reflect this rifle was roll marked June 6, 2011. This rifle has never been sold and has not been fired beyond normal factory test firing. This rifle features a whitetail along with Larry Weishuhn’s name and “Mr. Whitetail” engraved on the floorplate.
