Overview
The Remington Model 770 is an American magazine-fed bolt-action rifle introduced in 2007 as a budget-priced hunting rifle and the successor to the Model 710. It uses a solid-steel receiver with a three-lug bolt and a 60-degree bolt throw, feeds from a detachable box magazine, and shipped from the factory with a pre-mounted, boresighted 3-9x40mm scope. Marketed as an affordable alternative to the Model 700, it was offered in popular hunting cartridges including .270 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and .308 Winchester.

Notes
The 770 refined the earlier Model 710, most notably replacing the 710's troublesome magazine arrangement with an improved detachable box magazine and latch. It was widely sold as a complete scoped rifle package.
Background
Remington positioned the 770 as an entry-level deer rifle sold ready to hunt with a scope already mounted and zeroed, putting a centerfire bolt gun within reach of first-time buyers at a budget price point.
