I don't know what to do. I tol' you guys last month I scored this nice M77 it's 33 years old and in nice overall shape... great actually. Well it's shooting okay with the irons (2MOA) if you take into account my eyes. but I do not know how much to put into this rifle in terms of a sighting system and improving accuracy. I could put a NECG peep on it for about 80 bucks and call it good, probably improve on the open sight groups. But my task is I don't know how good the bore is. It is bright and shiny, sharp and clear of any visibly pits etc. but I'm having difficulty seeing if the throat is running out. It looks okay but I have no gear to inspect it properly. The gun has never been buggered about with, no bedding, no "improvements" of any kind. If I spend 400 on a decent scope and find out it shoots horribly I'll be unhappy with the world.
What are you guys' experiences with scoring older guns and them being fine and dandy? I currently have no scopes I could try on this as I tend to buy and sell a lot and only keep gems...
