I have owned two of the 77/44's and both have been very cranky about accuracy. I still have a 77/357 and it has been a great little rifle. It stays under 2 inches at 100 yards, usually producing about 1 1/2 MOA with a straight 4x scope. I like that little rifle a lot, and two of my friends' kids have harvested their first deer with it. Both were quick kills at between 80 and 100 yards and hits tight behind the shoulder. Those deer would not have been any deader if hit with a bazooka.
