My father bought a M77MK11 All Weather about 15 years ago. We could never get that rifle to shoot less than 3 inch groups. This past year we replaced the stock with a Houge Overmolded with full bedding block, a Timmeny Trigger adjusted very light and a Leupold VX-1 3-9x40mm scope. For loads we have been shooting 200 gr. Sierra Gameking Boatails,with 43.0 Grains of Varget powder and Winchester large rifle primers. Over all cartrige length is 3.280". The rifle will now shoot 1-1.5 inch groups.
