I bought it and fired 36 rounds through it. got it sighted in at hundred yards and plinked with it for a bit got nice tight groups. Two things , one it was not even close to being " sighted in out of the box " two the bolt is sticky but the only other bolt i had experience with was a mosin nagant so the bolt was a dream compared to the mosin. The rifle did get me into bolt action shooting and i plan to pick up an 30-06 savage.

Check out the Remington M700 along with the Savage. The M700 is an amazing rifle

The guns don't come sighted in out of the box. All that means is that no modifications are needed to get the accuracy they claim. That is standard for all guns though. If you are looking at a Savage you can't go wrong. I also like the M700. I have an M700 and my brother has a Savage in 30-06 and both are real tack drivers.

A couple of friends of mine own a 770, and they plan to sell them as soon as they find something better. their bggest complaint was the action was smooth at all.

your best bet would be a Remington 700, maybe a Winchester 70, if you find one thats made in New Haven,CT.

Nice cheap walley world savage will smoke it!

[ryansparky1]

looks to me like it was fired with a boresighter left in the muzzle, no problems with my 770, worth what I paid for it easy

[rimfirenut]

$400 worth of junk!! you get what you pay for!! one of Remington's super cheap junkers. spend a few more dollars on the 700 or get a Marlin or Stevens, you will be much happier in the long run!!

I like my 770 and wouldn't sell it for twice what I paid for it, and your opinion means nothing to me, I own the rifle and have shot lots with it, I know better than you the quality of my own rifle.

You are correct, it is my opinion. I had one, got it cheap and know why it was cheap, sold it after the first trip to the range. If I had another I would definitely sell it for twice the price if so offered that much. I am glad you like your rifle and never said they can't shoot, just said you get what you pay for. It is a cheap gun in general or should I say an entry level rifle. Anyway I am glade you like it just not for me I guess. Keep shootin and enjoy!!

I just bought a Rem.770 7mm mag today. I haven't shot it yet but the scope is gonna get changed out before I do take it out. I hope I have better luck with mine than some of y'all did. I needed a second hunting rifle to go along with my 30-06. My bro all ready has a 300 win mag so I went ahead and bought the 7mm mag. I dry cycled the rifle a few times in the store but I didn't feel that the bolt was sticky or hard to actuate. It's not as smooth as my 30-06 but it's about 30 years old and has been shot few.

[emiliojr]

I found a better deal for a 300win mag. It's a savage model 111 with a nicer thumb hole stock and nicer bolt and scope and accu triger. I never shot the Rem 770 7mm mag but it looked nice but the savage looks much better.

[felix cortinas]

I love guns, Remingtons, Rugers are my favorites. I bought a model 710 a few years ago. it was a worthless piece of ****. rough action most of all. the best cheap/lower end I have ever found and I carry with me in my pickup is a Stevens 200. I got a 7mm-08, and .22-250. both are tackdrivers. if they get stolen, dropped, you dont lose much (though any gun to me means a lot) I havent heard much about the 770, but what I have heard aint good. I still wonder why the good stuff like the 798 and 799s are dropped. go figure!! my vote is for the Stevens 200, you wont regret it.

[cooker300]

I have shot the 710&770 yes both are cheaper.
But the ones i have shot were not that bad of a rifle.
My brother has the 710 in 300win and it shoots very nice, his bolt was some what sticky for about a box of shells it holds very tight groups @ 150-200 yrds im talking about 1/4" and it has all most no recoil at all.
The 770 that i have shot was last year around late oct in 270 win by brothers neighbor bought one and it felt a little bit lighter than the 710, but i liked the rifle and it held very good groups as well. and yes his bolt was sticky for about 40 rds.

If it was me i would have spent a few more $$$ and got a 700, i have one in 270win and have put about 200 rounds throughtit over about 10 years, and i love the rifle and will never get rid of it. I personly just up graded to a 798 in 300win and will enjoying this one for a long time as well.

[Pigpen 0311]

I have a 770 in .30-06. And to be honest I have really enjoyed it. At 100 yards I can normaly get and about 1 to 1 1/2 in. groups with pretty cheap ammo form 150 - 180. I have also hit a paint can at about 500 yards on the second shot. Now would I trust it in a compatition? No. But for the price its not that bad and its a fun rifle. I would suggest getting a better scope.

People are crazy. I just bought a 770 in .270 win for my kids to start shooting. I can't believe everybody's complaints about the gun. It's not so much the complaints, it's what the biggest complaint is. people are talking like the gun is not shooting accurately or parts are falling off the gun. It is true you get what you pay for and for the price, it seems to be a good gun. I own a 700 BDL and nothing can compare to that gun. But these rediculous complaints about the 770 make me laugh. If everyone still wants to complain about the bolt sticking, I will give you the simple solution. Once you pull the bolt back, push the bolt back in, to chamber another round by pusing against the inner area of the lever. it will give you a smooth glide when chambering another round. anyway, it seems that all the people that are complaining, are the ones that shoot at a deer and miss and have to take 2 or 3 more shots. if my kids can get 5 years out of the gun, i will be happy. i got the gun on sale and traded in 2 old revolvers. and after an additional rebate, the gun cost me $160!!!! When my kids aren't using it, I will probably use it. the other mistake people make is that you don't buy a bargain rifle in a 300 mag, that's why i got the .270. i probably wouldn't go higher than a 30.06, because when it comes down to it, IT IS A BARGAIN RIFLE!!!! Shame on the skeptics

[ackspac]

Nothing wrong with the 770 at all. The people who dislike them have never owned one. They fear it may out do their $2,000 model 700. The 770 is no precision rifle, but it will kill a lot of deer. Now if the gun had Hi-Point stamped on the frame I would run in the other direction. Remington makes dam good guns, even cheap ones.

Im sorry. Im not happier. I have the 710 and the 700 models. The 700 is a super gun, but Im not taking it out in knee high brush and sticks to get the crap scratched out of it. Thats why I bought the 710. 6 years of having that 710, I have filled my tag every year.

[Da Mc]

I bought 770 in 7mm-08 and love it. From the get go I never had any problems with the bolt. Not sticky, smooth action. I always try the action of a bolt gun before I buy it. If it doesn't move smoothly then there is no sale. Comparing apples to apples one 770 to another they all will have their own personality and will shoot differently. You just have to find the brand of ammo and bullet load the gun likes and stick with it. Mine produces 1" groups at 100yds.consistently. I hung a medicine pill bottle at 100yds. and shot it off the string on the first shot. Don't let that stupid video scare you. The barrel either had to be plugged with a previous bullet or it was a defective barrel. I have seen barrels like that on other mfrs. rifles and the co.'s are still in business and the names are not condemned just because of one in a million incident. The only thing I did with mine was to replace the scope that it came with(Bushnell 3-9x40) piece of cr_p. Any car mfr. is not going to put the best high dollar tires on a brand new car right from the factory unless ordered that way. What do you expect? If you buy a 770 cycle the action first and see what its like. If it's sticky, ask to try another one. Simple! You wouldn't buy a car without a test drive and just because the one you drove had problems doesn't mean another one in the same model is going to have the same problem! If the 770 is as bad as some of these comments Remington would pull it off the market! But so far they are still being sold. I'm sure other gun mfrs. make pieces of junk but you don't see them being condemned. Just go with your gut feeling after trying one and you be the judge. Good luck and good shootin to ya! M.C.

That's why they make the synthetic stocked 700 SPS, can't scratch it up.

Back when I bought my 700 synthetic stocks were unheard of. I wanted a rifle to keep in my truck/hunt in thickets with that was inexpensive and reliable and the 710 fit the bill perfectly.
