I shot a NEF that was my uncles chambered in .45-70. It was a fun gun to carry in the brush. We deemed it the portable cannon for obvious reasons. It closely resembles the profile of my snake charmer......that too is a fun gun to take fishing for the unsuspecting snapping turtle or copper head. Let ...

A2K, I too am in Wichita......Maize to be exact. I have two .204's, a heavy barrel M77 and a Rock River AR. If you need a shooting buddy, I can help you out.

I would opt for a 20" or 22". I have a 24" barrel on mine with a 2 1/2" muzzle brake. Makes for a very heavy gun, if I were to change it I would go with a 22". 18" is pretty short to achieve the optimal range of the .204. Especially because of the gas block location on ...

The gun......if you like what you got, might as well go with what you know. That is my opinion, that is why I never strayed from the M77.....I think I have 8 now. I do have an old Savage in 30-06 and it has proven to be one of the most reliable in my arsenal. Scope.....I have the VXIII 6.5x20-40 on ...

My next upper will get either the RRA or the American defense..... I would probably go with the RRA since my rifle is a RRA.

If you want something cheap, I have a rail and rings for sale. $30 plus $5 shipping. I don't know the make but it came on my AR when I bought it.

I can send you a picture if you are interested.

Just checked both guns, and you cannot close the bolts in either..........223 in a .204, or .204 in the .223. Both bolts were around .095" to .125" from closing.

I can't imagine that a .223 will chamber in a .204........ I have 2 .204s and my wife has a target Mini-14, I guess I should see if it is true when I get the chance. Are you sure that you can close the bolt?????? I would figue the diameter of the projectile and case neck would prohibit the action fr...

ADM makes a great product, as does RRA........

As far as a detatch system, I just have the fear of getting a hair or grain of sand under the lip of the rail or something. .005" on the rail will make a huge difference at 500 yards.

I have a M223 Nikon mount and like it alot....plus it is made in the US unlike the Burris Stuff. I lapped it with a lapping bar and I didn't have to take out much material to get a "true" mating surface. I have a Leupold 6-18x40 mounted on it now. I bet I looked for a month for good mount....

Do you still have the original stock?

My M77 Target suits me well.........the 26" barrel with 12 twist does fine with 40 grain projectiles. The 1:12 will not stablilize 45's or the new 50's/55's to well.....

I got to see a picture first and analyze it.....no offense but a picture is worth a thousand words.

Plus my Target M77 has a stepped receiver so I want to see how that will work.

Can you post a link? I cannot find what you are talking about....I too would be interested for my M77.

So.......why are you selling it if you just got it?????
