Cartman: I agree with ART. I have accurized a couple of M77 MKII's. First, float the barrel, from about 1.5 inches forward of the recoil lug all the way out. Then spend about $70 for a Timney or Dayton-Traister adjustable trigger. Set the trigger at a weight that you feel safe and comfortable with. I like mine about 3.5 pounds. I think that you will like the results.

PS: Have a gunsmith install the trigger, unless you are patient, and very familiar with trigger operation. A poor installation of an aftermarket trigger can lead to a dangerous situation.
