The flip side would be if Ruger would at least put the American trigger in the M77/17. That seems a no brain er to me. Who wants a gun costing 3x with a poor trigger? I dont know if that would be enough to sell me on any M77, but it would be one less excuse.
The real excuse, for not getting a 77/17, is being totally unable to 'work over' one of the easiest triggers to 'work over'...
