I handled the 770 in a Gander Mountain and I was not impressed. It's supposed to be an improvement over the 710? And the gun was just way too heavy, you don't want that for a 7mm-08. Save up a few more pesos or borrow them if you have to, to get a better rifle like the T3 lite, Ruger, or an SPS. I know Ruger is clearancing thier MKII M77's right now, Cabelas has them on sale for only $400 in that particular caliber as well as every other caliber except for the WSM's.

Just a thought.
