This is an 80's model with less than a box of shells through it in LNIB condition. Guy wants $500 for it. I know that's not a great deal on most normal cartridges in an M77, but I think I've read on here where the 223 is tough to come by.

What say you guys? Good deal or pass?

If hes asking 500, he will take 450 if he has any sense at all. Id jump on it if its nice and clean.

Well I bought it. From the looks of it I can believe it has only been shot a few times. No markings on the bolt face and still some grease on the bottom side of the bolt. Other than a couple of spots where it looks to have been bumped in the safe, it could pass for brand new.

It's not a tang safety. It's a Mark II. Perhaps it's not an 80's model? 90's maybe? The original owner was in his 80's so he might have remembered incorrectly about how long he'd owned it. The guy I bought it from got it from the original owner as a deer rifle for his son. He then came upon a 22-250 and decided to go with it and sell this 223.

He also had an older Mini-14 he'd gotten from the same guy. It also looked brand new.
