Ruger makes a few entries into this arena. They call them "Internationals". The No. 1 single shot rifle has an entry, the 10/22 has an entry and the M77 has an entry. I have a M77 International in .308 and I love that rifle. I'll burn through 140 rounds of milsurp in one session with that rifle. I only shoot iron sights, so I'm not looking for a 1/4" grouping at 100 yards tack-driver here. It hits what I aim at and that's what matters most to me. I have fun with it and it's very compact and easy to carry. It has an Alaskan Magnum sling and a buttcuff to keep rounds at the ready when carrying this rifle in areas populated by cougars and/or black bears. It's a fine looking (and fine shooting for me) rifle and I have absolutely no complaints about it. Makes a great carbine that chambers a substantial caliber. You can also get the M77 International in .243, .270, and .30'06 too.
