I have 3 M77 MKII VTs and have never understood the accuracy issues some people claim (they are VTs though so that may make a difference, I don't know), I know there are some "bad" rifles out there but I shoot sub MOA with all 3 of them (.220 swift, 22-250, and .223) the only thing I have done to any of them is pretty standard work. I put new triggers in 2 of them and quality optics on all 3, and all three of them will consistently pop prairie dogs at 4-500+ yrds. I dont have any experience with the bigger calibers in the MKII so I don't know about that, but IMHO they are good rifles. And I believe the Hawkeye is replacing the MKII from what I have heard.
