I own the Blued Walnut one, I like it very much when Im feeding Federal Game Kings or Win Silvertips through it. I have had some problems getting a good handload for it, but thats not anything to do with the gun. Between my friends and I we own 3 of these M77 in 25-06 and it seems like all of them shoot the Win Silvertip commercial ammo the best. IMHO it is my favorite deer cartridge.
