I was reading Cheaper Than Dirt’s post on entry level bolt guns. I will probably end up buying a Remington 700 in stainless. However I did look at the 770. And what a piece of crap. I felt like I had to jiggle the bolt to get it to return. Not smooth like the ss 700. Here is SW Washington/Portland OR, the 770 is going for around $450-$500, the ss 700 is around $630. From what I have observed in extra $1xx is totally worth it.
Its actually kinda comical, all the local gun shops and sporting good stores either don’t carry the 770 or openly talk about its turd-like qualities.
