I have 5 M77s...all tangers.

77RL 257Rob
77RL 308 Win
77RL 260 Rem (barreled by McGowen)
77RSI 250 Sav
77V 220 Swift

Except for the 220 Swift, which I haven't shot in decades, they are all light weight, thin and short barreled hunting rifles. At that, they all shoot right at, or just under an inch. I couldn't/wouldn't ask for more from such a light hunter. The 260 Rem shoots under 1/2" often enough to keep me smiling.

Lots of folks don't care for the M77 for one reason or another. Mine do what they are designed to do, they do it well, and I'm quite satisfied with them.


I have a tanger that could be yours. 7mm RM with B&C stock and after market adjustable trigger.


I prefer classic.
