SRT Ruger 77/44 Integral

Please note: Ruger has statrted production of the 77/44 again. We will not stock host rifles, but will suppress any 77/44 you send us.

The 77/44 is an excellent choice for serious animal control work at shorter ranges (Animal Control departments especially have found the gun excellent for dispatching wounded large game, and elimination of feral hogs and canines), and is an excellent choice for tactical or military use where heavy subsonic projectiles are needed at ranges that exceed the capability of a suppressed handgun.

Engel Ballistic Research 265 grain and 300 grain .44 magnum cases subsonic ammo at 1000 FPS is availble from SRT for serious work, or handload 185 gr or 210 gr plinking loads for quiet casual target shooting. As an example of how quiet it is, you could set up a range in your basement (where the law allows), and no one upstairs will hear a thing when you are shooting.

This is the quietest 77/44 currently available that we know of, and has higher bullet velocties, and thus better terminal ballistics than any of our competition. The tensioned barrel design, as is used in all of our integral guns, offers superior accuracy when used with Engel Ballstic Research .44 magnum 270 grain Subsonic ammo. Typical bullet velocity is 90%+ of a similar round fired from an unsupressed Ruger 77/44, and is higher than competitors models.

The suppressor tube is 1.5” OD by about 17” long. The suppressed gun is only about 1" longer than a factory gun. A 4X Simmons .22MAG scope using extra tall Ruger scope rings is a nice scope choice, and is optional. This suppressed 77/44 has similar weight and handling characteristcs to an unmodified rifle.

We recommend an optional Douglas Match barrel in a special 11:1 twist rate for improved accuracy over the factory Ruger barrel when using subsonic loads. Engel Ballistic Research has developed a special subsonic 265 grain round for this rifle/barrel combination that typically delivers ~ MOA accuracy at 100 yards. The Douglas barrel can be chambered in either .44 Magnum or .44 Special, depending on your requirements.

A typical group size with the EBR subsonic with the factory Ruger barrel is 1.5" at 50 yards. Upgrading to the Douglas barrel usually reduces the group size by about 1/2 .

All suppressor tubes are finished with Mil-Spec flat black baked phenolic resin.
