[QUOTE="Kevin, post: 33117, member: 603"] I have a M77 that is completly stock except for the ackley treatment. It shoots very well, but only with 55gr or even preferably 45-52gr bullets. It does have great trajectory out to 500 yards which is apealing, but the barrel heats up fast. I would want to shoot or inspect the rifle before you make any decisions. If it was well taken care of then it may be fine, I clean mine a lot, at the most 15 shots between cleanings, and I never let the barrel get too hot, and I have not seen any loss in accuracy since I got it. The ackley treatment will gain you around 200fps. The farthest I have shot mine is 800 yards, but I could definatly tell that that was pushing it a little. It is very accurate out to 5 or 600 yards, but the little bullets quikly loose their steam and wind is a large factor. [/QUOTE]
