Agreed.

I checked out a 770 a few months ago at the local ganderbelamart, and I'd have to say I am duly unimpressed. Its the only gun I have ever seen where the action managed to be both sloppy and sticky at the same time.

Same day there was a Vanguard 30-06 on clearance at Wally World for $399.99.

The 770 at any price doesn't begin to compare.
