Bought this beauty recently from Zeus here on the forum, with proceeds going to help our friend and gunsmith John Gallagher and wife Beverly. John is battling cancer and having a rough go of it right now. My thanks to Zeus and others here who have helped John in an active way.

I found a used Leupold 3.5-10x scope at the same shop where I picked the rifle up when Glenn shipped it to me. Steal of a price on the Leupold, and I thought it was about the perfect scope for the rifle. I told Glenn there was a real problem with this gun - I like it so much I'm going to want another one in a larger hunting rifle chambering (this one's a .223). Anyway, here's a few crude pics.

I like that rifle. You might need a larger caliber if you want to take it to Africa. Where's you shoot the Aoudad, at least that's what they are called in this country. For me Africa was a once in a lifetime deal, but I'm glad I did it.

Sweet looking M77 for sure. I think the original M77 looks the best of the bolt guns that they have done. And Zeus is a nice guy too! (Just don't tell him I said so!) :D

I have a .270 that when I (rarely) need a rifle,, it's kinda my go to gun.
