MY opinion is that they have some plastic hardware that should be metal, and they are not attractive, and they aren't very accurate, and, and, and... After shooting multiple 770's for customer at the store I use to work at, I've grown to hate the 770. Most notable was a 770 in .308 Win. Shooting off of a lead sled and after trying various factory loads, I couldn't get the thing to shoot a group under about 5 inches at 100yds. With that said, I'm not a 770 fan and I think the quality reflects poorly on Remington. I, also, would never try and put a 770 on the same level as a model 700. There's really just no comparison. Again, this is only MY opinion.
