there is a ton of company's that make replacement stocks for the 770 and there NOT hard at all to get or replace
and most are well under 200 bucks?
and almost ZERO rifles I know of come with a swivel sling mount on there stocks, and this includes some \super HIGH end rifles!
I agree there sure nice and saves things from coming loose, but I don;t think it really adds any strength to things!
everything and anything can break, from a flaw from when made to how cared for and handled and used/abused
but tyopiclaly stocks on rifles are pretty solid items that last a long time
over the yrs there have been flaws in some models(CZ safari model comes to mind, where the recoil lug would hit and break stock after a bunch of shots being fired and, then ther redesigned things to stop it)
but its not a very common flaw in most rifles
any how
here is some replacement stocks, as stated NOT hard to find or options t here is 3 pages of stocks to pick from, with little effort to find them!
