But if you are going to run a box of shells through it every deer season, it will still be in good service when your grandchildren are ready to use it.Īll in all we are happy with this rifle. It just wasn’t intended for that kind of use. This is not a gun that you would want to buy if you are going to shoot a thousand rounds a year on the range. Pictured below: top, Rifle sighted on target bottom, rifle in recoil We were a little worried about recoil since the synthetic stock makes this a very light firearm, but it was not bad at all. Accuracy is well within our deer hunting needs. At a dollar a round you don’t want to burn a lot of ammo getting sighted in. When you sight this rifle in get some sand bags and do it right. The scope has been bore sighted at the factory so when we started off at 50 yards we were at least on the paper, only about three inches off center. Pictured below: The detachable box magazine The 770 has a four round box magazine which is easy to remove and load. Pictured below: top, bolt release lever bottom, bolt withdrawn Pulling up a small lever on the top left of the receiver allows you to withdraw the bolt for easy bolt and barrel cleaning. Pictured below: top, the 770 receiver bottom, bolt drawn back It’s just a matter of not operating as smoothly as you might like. Don’t misunderstand, the bold locks down tight and solid. The bolt is not a tight fit in the receiver and the play causes it to feel a little rough sometimes when you are cycling the bolt. The bolt in particular needs to be de-gunked, and it wouldn’t hurt to work it over with a little 0000 steel wool. You can pick one up for around $300.īefore you fire it you need to give this rifle a good cleaning. but on the plus side it does not carry a fancy price tag. No burled walnut, skip checkering, ivory inlays, or etc. You can see at a glance that it is not a fancy rifle. The 770 that we bought has a matte black barrel and stock and is chambered for. It is bolt action with a synthetic stock and comes with a factory mounted 3 – 9 x 40 scope. The Remington 770 is a very plain utilitarian type of rifle. If you are a gun as tool type person, then read on.
