You stated that the LSS won't work with the Hawkeye 77. I could get my Hands on a dirt Cheap M77 Mk2 VT Action though..

I'm handy with a Mill and a Lathe, could one make it fit or is it totally different?

Thank you!

Thanks!

So, a normal M77 Mk2 will fit the LSS, but the V/T won't, because of the different Trigger?

MDT states that the LSS will fit the M77 Scout action. As far as I know, the Gunsite Scout isn't any different on the Bottom Side than the M77 Mk2 or am I wrong?

I've got both a M77 Mk2 in .30-06 (although this is a long action) and a .223 M77 Mk2 V/T at home and could compare the two regarding the Trigger and Stuff on the Bottom of the Action...

yes, the actions are the same, but the trigger is different enough to not fit in standard inletting. I also forgot to mention, the mags or action may need a little modification and/or milling/fitting. The plastic MDT mags are easy to fit, but I have not tried steel mags.

Thanks again!

Also found your Post on the Predator Action in the LSS. Looks very doable. Now what to do.. Get the rather Heavy V/T Action and put it into an LSS or get a new Predator...

Choices make Life difficult! :-D

Stachi, I just ordered a LSS for a Hawkeye Predator with 2-stage. They are not commercially available for a few more months, but Raul Versosi at MDT is going to make one for me. You might call and see if he will do one for you, too.....
