[208packinheat]

Have not seen any discussion on a tang safety M 77 RSI in 7X57. How common is this variation in 7X57? :?

As soon as I figure out how, I will load pictures. :roll:

Welcome to the Forum!
According to the RENE reference guide,, from what I can tell, the 77RSI in 7x57 would have a serial number range of 770-91134 to 770-92221. Reportedly less than 200 made. Very rare!
Of course,, condition & completeness of the package will determine the value!

Thanks Contender, it has been in the safe for nearly 20 years, with all the fixins. Never shot it, I have several M77 7X57, and well just never got round to shootin' er. Serial 770-923XX.

Serial 770-923XX.

That's OVER the known serial range! Now Chad's gonna hafta UP-date!!

 

[contender]

Yep,, that serial number changes a few things,, and if you still have the box,, we know that a few collectors would love to have a pristene one.
Chad Hiddleson of the Red Eagle News Exchange would be interested in the complete serial number for his reference guide updates. He goes by "chet15" around here. You can contact him directly via a Pm or email to help all collectors out. (You know,, folks like you that ask a question & we try & help all we can,,,!)

Thanks contender, I have emailed Chad the information, and will sign up for the RENE, sounds like a great reference.

 

[chet15]

Sometime since the last reference was printed, I received an even higher number on that one...770-92491. But do appreciate everybody chiming in on everything that might be able to be updated!!!

Yes, not surprising. Could be "the" concept rifle, or even more likely an older serial numbered receiver just finally went through the barreling process. Let me know if you have a factory letter on it verifying it as 77RSI 7x57 and I'll update the reference with your serial number.
