I agree Jim, and I laughed out loud at the part about the turd
....I wonder how hard it would be to find one of the old clamp in type barreled 77/22's NIB? I think this may be the way to go if the Green Mountain barrels are accurate enough and with a new trigger of course..I know the action is a solid performer, I'm glad this was suggested, this set-up never occurred to me before but I like the idea..........Hillbilly.
That's basically what I've done, got a s/s model 77/22 and added a walnut stock, trigger assembly and a 20" s/s green mountain fluted barrel.
Looks great, and shoots excellent for the most part; 1/4" to 3/8" at 50yds, but then throws fliers out to a 1/2" or so. Beats me why it does that, I'm stumped.
