I agree with the previous posters: avoid the 770. I believe you have several options though. Look at a basic Remington 700 ADL. Savage is a good alternative as well. Their guns are very accurate. Do no rule out a used gun. Take a bore light and go local gun stores and pawn shops. Look for one with a good bore and blue. You can easily replace the stock for a very reasonable price. For instance, I saw several 700's in the $275-300 range yesterday at pawn shops. If you add the replacement stock for $90, you still have less than $400 in the gun. Remington replacement stocks are less than $90 at Cabelas online. Good luck!
