I will say I wouldn�t be worried about the strength of the M77/22 rifle � it�s a .22 rimfire.
It's not that I'm worried, just puzzled. The criticism of the Ruger clamping method seems to be unfounded, just for that reason.
The Sako quad has a slip in barrel design, and that doesn't appear to compromise accuracy in any way.
Even the old pinning method, while not ideal, doesn't seem to be much of an issue regarding accuracy and strength when chambered for the low pressure .22 rimfire. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
