I bought a Remington 770 so that I could hunt with the gang. I am bow hunter with elk , deer, and turkey kills with the bow. The 770 that I bought cheap under $170, after replacing the stock with wood($125) and putting my Redfield scope on it, I would not trade it for any other rifle. The clip fits snugly in the wood stock. When I first got the gun I dropped a clip on the concrete floor and it came apart. I put it together and ran a bead of JB Metal Weld around the edges. I have done this to all of my clips and I have not had an issue with them coming a part. I reload all my shells for the 770 and have found out that the gun works great with 150 and 165 gr lead. A friend of mine killed a 6×6 bull at 350 yds with a 165 gr bullet. He is sold on the gun. He also replaced the stock with wood. I also use it to hunt coyotes and fox with 100 gr lead. Great gun for me.

I have a Rem 770 308 win I got it used the guy who I got it from complained about the bolt catching on magizine when bolted back so I got it home and yes the bolt would hang up and wouldn’t chamber as bullet so I called the manufacturer and I sent it in to them they fixed the bolt for free it had a recal on the bolt they said and ever since then it’s as smooth as any bolt action rifle I have ever had

I wanted another backup rifle, and I was thinking a Remington 783. I went on the web to look at reviews and came across 770 reviews they are really bad. I could not believe a major manufacturer would make a rifle as bad as some of these nimrods were claiming. So I went to a Walmart and bought one for $254. Granted it had an ugly stock and cheap scope but I wanted to see how it preformed. It is a 243 Win. and it was not boresighted as claimed. After I sighted it in it shot 5/8 inch at one hundred yards. The gun needed to be taken apart and a good cleaning was needed. A little polishing and lube was in order as with any new rifle. I took the little 243 hunting twice and killed two small bucks with two shot so I decided to keep it. I have hunted and shot competition for well over 50 years and I must say this model is what you want to make of it. I didn’t like the scope or the stock so I replaced both, and I still have less money invested than most of my other rifles. The. trigger pull is about 3 pounds and crisp. With the addition of the Boyds stock and the Nikon scope the rifle looks good and shoots well.

Bought this rifle because of price. Through a snafu I got it for $200. Initially, I had problems with clambering a shell. File down the bottom bolt. Works perfect.
Secondly, had issues with the magazine that came with it. I ordered a backup and now it’s my primary magazine.
Shot a deer with fusion ammo. It dropped, but no blood trail. Shoots where you aim. The scope I got with it was way off. Invest in a laser bore sight. For the $, I can’t argue. First time out, I got a deer. But pay attention and make minor modifications as needed, before you hunt with it.
It is what it is. A cheap beater rifle, but first time out, what I needed.

Followup to previous post. I’ve had the 770 in .308 for about 2 years now. `I adjusted the trigger down to about 2.5 pounds, polished the bolt, changed the stock to the Boyd’s At-One, changed the scope to a Mueller 8-32 x44 Tactical scope, put a bi-pod on the forened and a mono-pod on the buttstock. I have about 1100 rounds downrange and still love this rifle. My son shot .30 MOA at 100 yards using PMC Nato M80 ball, so with Nosler handrolls this thing prints holes thru holes. Shooting AR500 IPSC 66% silouhette and water jugs at over 400 yards is easy. Shoots with any rifle out there including Rem 700 and Howa 1500 with their sub-MOA guarantee. Anyone who mocks this rifle is misinformed or dense. Not fancy, but works flawlessly.
