A couple of dudes I was letting shoot my saigas today, had a bran new 770 in stainless synthetic, in 30.06 , combo rifle with a nice little bushy 3.9 on it.
these guys are kinda novice, and they couldn't figure out the scope too well. so I took a test drive.
What did I find you ask? First off , a very nice looking rife, with a thick , albeit slightly too hard recoil pad. thin and light stock, but very stiff, the little bushy was a nice lilttle scope, with just a teeny bit of prrlax, but quite clear, really.
nice long bbl , maybe a 24 incher , which is nice. it is either a bead blasted stainless or a nickel wash, either way , it was a good job.
This is a light rifle, and I would recommend it for no problem humping around through the woods, or the big hills, would have to be under 7 .5 lbs easy.
I looked at the guys' last 'group' if you could call it that, and took a chance and made my corrections off of that, 12 up /20 right.
three rouhds end up slightly high, and slightly right, down 4 left 6, start with his last 4 rounds.
Bang , no probs, all 4 shots in the center of the circle, about 1.5 inches round , I suppose. only waited 30 seconds between shots , so it did not have a chance to cool, yet it held it' s groups just fine.
Overcast yet warm day, 5< less wind, using cheapy Monarch brass line ammo, from Academy, about 12 bucks a box.
One thing though, I am used to just finishing up on my custom 6mm mauser , that i am selling, and my new(very old) tweeked up remmy 788, in 243. We are talking short action , very short throw bolts, with multi locking lugs up front, on both rifles.
opening the bolt on this was a bit of a culture shock, it felt as though i had to lift it up 6 inches, and pull it back a full 12 inches!!!! wow, I am sure I could not be right, but compared to the first two rigs, this is what it felt like.
Overall, I did not ask the price, but it seems well suited for it's task, I can only hope that in the shorter carts, they actually have made them to be
true short actions!!!! I recommend as a buy, for the novice , ant the pro,
to tweek around a bit with!!!
