Much better rifles can be bought for not much more money IMO. Look for an Stevens 200/Savage 110, Marlin XL7, or Weatherby Vanguard. For less than $100 more usually you can pick up a rifle that will expand your options.

You'll have options to upgrade the stock with any of the ones I mentioned. I'm not sure on the triggers of the M770 if they can be upgraded or tuned but again the ones above can if needed. Lastly all the above mentioned rifles can be re-barreled into something different later on, last I knew you couldn't re-barrel a M770.
