I like the chequered and fluted forend, very nice. Not so sure about the comb of the stock though, I prefer the classic lines of the "old" 77, having said that I do occasionally like to use an old Williams aperture sight and hooded foresight from a HW80 with interchangeable elements. I've currently got my HW77K fitted with a Leapers Accushot 3-9x44 on 1 piece Sportsmatch 039c medium height mount, really low, 2mm clear, just enough room for the flip-up cover on the objevtive lens. Just my opinion of course, each to their own.
ATB,
John
