Have owned several M77 LH through the years. Nothing specific against them because they are a workable option for lefties, but I always felt like they were pretty crude compared to a M70 that could be had for not a ton more $ in many cases. M77 triggers were some of the worst I've used on mainstream BA rifles.

I do like laminate/ss rigs. Warmth of wood on a cold day, better structural stability, a little extra weight - which does a lot of rigs a favor.
