M77

HOGbuster · 07-31-2009, 06:05 PM

I just bought a m77 22-250 with the heavy barrel. With the tang safety it seems when you are inserting the bolt (action on fire) you cannot get it in all the way. It seems like half way through you need to switch to safe. The top of the safety is hitting the bottom of the bolt. Am i missing something.

Thanks

My dad has a M77 MKII in .270 and theres a button on the left side of the receiver that you gotta press/pull to both take out the bolt and to put it back in. Not sure if its the same for the .22-250 even though I should hope it would be.

Hogbuster, I'd like to hear an update on how you like that rifle now that some time has passed. How does it shoot and function?

I'm considering purchasing the exact same rifle (newer version with 3-pos safety).

Swede, a friend of mine bought one in 243 and said it shot around an inch with the loads he tried. The only issue he had was that the short barrel produced velocities about 400fps lower than his other M77 with a 22" barrel.
