All well and good if many have had excellent results with their 77/22s. As I said, they are beautiful rifles
Doesn't negate the fact that not all 77/22s met with that level of acceptance. I know what I know, as others know what they've experienced. Be well.
Long before the 77/22 came out, I'd bought a new Win. M320, for the same reason people were attracted to the Ruger. Walnut stock, some heft to it and a proper looking rifle. It stood out from the crowd of cheap stocked and clunky 22s on the market in the early 70s. Still have it, still shoot it. $60 out the door when new.
I ran across a win 310 in a shop about 5 years ago, didn't get it that day but went back a few days later and it was gone....but....a gorgeous 320 was in its place. SOLD! Without a doubt my favorite blued walnut 22 I own and I get a lot of compliments on it.
