Hunter
IMHO, yes. The American is fine for an entry level rifle for the guy that just wants to kill a deer once a year. For the man that wants a rifle he would be proud to show his friends and hand down to his grandkids, the 77MK2 has it beat all to Hades. I much prefer the Mauser type action on the 77, with the controlled round feed, as well as the integral scope mounts and steel rings. Give it a nice walnut stock, or laminated one, and it is one handsome rifle indeed. I say this on the provision you get one that is really blued and not the cheap coating they have been putting on them lately. Once again, just IMHO.
