I worked on one for a guy once. A 770 that is. ANd the other guy is right the Sav is the better rifle. But the 770 really wasnt all that bad and the guy killed 3 elk in three yrs with it so how bad was it? What I had to do for him was shim his scope base becasue his Burris for some reason had too much enough elevation or something I forget. I put in two thin shims and he re zeroed it perfect and kilt an elk a few weeks later. I think his was a 300 win mag but I am old and forget easy. It's a good starter gun. The high falutin guys herwe will always diss stuff like the 770 but not everbody here on HN has a Blazer 3000 budget. Good luck.
