777’s were made by Nikko in Japan and never imported to the US. The majority of US specimens came home with military folks who served in Europe or Asia.

260 is right about the 770 being an intermediate grade rifle. Nobody would ever mistake a 777 for a 770. 777’s were Weatherby/Kleingunther/Nikko Golden Eagle-esque.
pretty sure 777 is the same as a Nikko Golden Eagle

That's how I remember it as well. Dad had a 777 in 7Rem Mag back in the late-80's/early-90's sometime. Somewhere there's a few film pics of it and I could confirm the 777/Golden Eagle twinsies, but I'm probably not going to go dig them up.
