Double set triggers and the 1874 action were enough heavier, that the model 1877 was designed around external dimensions and weight.

Gorgeous rifle I have thought about a 77 as well, though My thought is more like, put a 26-28" standard weight barrel on it, in a lighter caliber, like the .38-55 or .40-65, and wind up with a handy hunting rifle. What barrel? Chambering? wood grade? "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

Own one and hope to visit their factory in the near future. That will be an expensive stop if they happen to have anything sitting in their racks. Now get out and shoot it.

What barrel? Chambering? wood grade? The rifle weighs 11 pounds 9 ounces. It isn't light, but was never meant to be. These rifles were developed for competition matches and they did put an upper limit of weight on them, so you won't see light 77 rifles. They made less than 100 of them originally. The wood is 3X extra fancy American Walnut. It isn't easy to find that kind of figure in American Walnut... Last edited by shrapnel; 10/09/18.

Is that Shiloh's Extra Fancy or Presentation grade wood? When you order fancy wood like that on a Shiloh ( and oay like $500 +++ extra for it ) do you simply get what they select or do they have a selection of stocks or blanks you can pick from?

When the wood came in, Kirk called me and I went to the factory and picked the blank. Basically, Kirk already had the blanks graded and it was easy to see this was what I wanted...

I think if anything, Shiloh is conservative on their wood grading. I ordered Extra Fancy on my .45-90 and it's jaw-dropping, don't know how one would upgrade it to make "presentation".
