Never gave the 77 a thought when I got back into Air Rifles and had never used one.I bought a 95 and was happy with it. My mate got a 77 and must say even if it is on the heavy side its spot on, ok I have long arms and long fingers but it fits like a glove.I also have AA 400-Airsporter mk6 and Diana G80 but will at some time look for a 77.My son had a 57 and found it was very twangy he now has AA 400 and says he will probably look at a 77 or 97 in time
