The 77 - Dave Roelle - 05-05-2013 Mr Grits asked for a side shot of the "77"--------here ya go from the floor of the NRA show a few more shots "of interest" tomorrow Dave RE: The 77 - Ironramrod - 05-06-2013 Dave, Thanks for the excellent picture. Would you happen to know the weight of that '77? Additionally, just guessing, but the weight distribution looks like the balance point is closer to the action than on the model '74. What are your thoughts? Regards IR RE: The 77 - Dave Roelle - 05-06-2013 Hey there Sir--------------------believe the spec's on that particular rifle are 40/65----32 inch----------Kirk shot it at the Texas State Match------so its a sillwet weight rifle--------------there are some additional pics i took at the shoot on a different thread here in another section, look for Texas Stae Shoot stuff. Lumpy Grits had asked for a profile shot so here ya are Gary got a couple of other "pic's of interest" i'll post here later Dave RE: The 77 - Lumpy Grits - 05-06-2013 THANK YOU Dave One real sweet look'n rifle for sure. Did Kirk or Lucinda, have any SWAG as to when production will start? Gary RE: The 77 - Dave Roelle - 05-06-2013 I didn't ask Gary i got into a pp discussion with Orville and kinda lost track of time a couple other pics of interest---------we have a wild hog problem in Texas and saw two excellent solutions to some of it and a really creative concealed carry accessory for the ladies Dave RE: The 77 - Lumpy Grits - 05-06-2013 Cool pics. I use to help build those Robby helos. Put a few hours in fly'n them too. Gary RE: The 77 - Ironramrod - 05-06-2013 Dave, Thanks for the additional photos and the compliment. The CCW bra should work well for the taller, full figured and larger framed gals. One thing I think lots of folks (especially gals) need to consider is that a CCW doesn't automatically solve any problems. One needs to practice shooting, but also practice dismounting the firearm quickly (like fast draw) plus being mentally prepared to do what is necessary for the situation; bad guy, BOOM BOOM. Two holes in the bad guy are better than 1. Regards IR RE: The 77 - Dave Roelle - 05-06-2013 Yup -------------The "quick draw" part might be distraction enough for a double tap RE: The 77 - Lumpy Grits - 05-06-2013 Lucky little gun ....... Gary
