They are plastic, and it seems that they could break easy. The one thing I do need to mention has nothing to do with stripping – the sling mounts. But overall it is much like any other bolt-action rifle out there. The rifle’s assembly and disassembly can be a bit tricky. Safety reminder – always treat a gun as if it is loaded. Move to the F position when ready to fire. It’s at the back right of the receiver, and an S indicates that the safety switch is on. The safety guards the trigger when engaged, and prevents the shooter from pulling it. The 770 has a manual safety mechanism which prevents accidental and unintended discharge. If you choose to replace that scope with a better one, remember that as far as scopes go, they should cost more than the rifle, especially if we’re talking about an economic rifle like the Model 770. The scope that comes with the rifle is fine for short to mid-range targets, but anything else will probably be difficult. If you’re happy with your firearm, whatever it may be, then continue to use it and make the most of it. Pay no attention to what anyone else says. I mean, the mag is meant for four rounds, so why not use four rounds? Then again, it is a cheap gun, so if using three rounds instead of four will solve your issue, and you’re happy with that solution, do it and don’t look back. Some say that limiting the magazine capacity to three rounds will help solve the issue, but that is kind of a backdoor fix. The magazine which I used was fine, but I did hear of other mags which failed often, and which caused a jam in the bolt. Eventually, you’ll have to make up your own mind about this rifle, but as far as actual performance is concerned? I have no complaints.
Like I said, the 770 gets a bad rap, and only some of it is justified. I didn’t actually experience these but am only stating what I have been told and have read. The bolt, the stock, the trigger, poor cycling at times. Being a bolt-action rifle with five rounds, it means that you will probably be spending more time calculating each shot, and – given those circumstances – the 770 is an altogether accurate, albeit awkward, hunting rifle.Ī hunting rifle needs more than accuracy, however, and this is where the 770 begins to exhibit some issues. The trigger is not the best, but it will fire. Past 100 yards, the scope is more difficult to work with, but it still provides good aim. The pre-mounted scope comes sighted in for 100 yards, and it works.
Okay, so the build is cheap and it is meant for beginners etc., but does it shoot well? The answer is yes.
