I really don't remember what it was. I just knew I didn't want to shoot it any more. Would have been OK for caribou but a bit on the light side side for moose My one brother had a Remington Model 760 in a carbine that was chambered for 30.06 . That kicked me so bad I could only shoot it about 3 times until I was flinching so bad . I was always a skinny kid throughout my teenage years .I finally stopped shooting it because it was causing me to develop bad shooting habits .I realized a long time ago that I really do not like recoil!!

I have a M77 UL in .270 and .243. They came out in the mid 80's. Tang safety, like a 20-22 inch pencil barrel, walnut stock with a black tip at the tip of the for arm. Accuracy is iffy. Good 2-300 yard gun. That .270 kicks like a mule. These are pre- MARK 77's. Now, some of the full size older M77 came with douglas barrels, then switched to wilson's, then I believe ruger started their own crappy barrels?.?. I have killed a lot of deer with that .270. After a few shoots when zeroing, you have to stop and let the barrel cool or it will start throwing rounds. The UL's are great to carry though.

The light weight in .257 Roberts would basically become my favorite no matter what else I had at home. That little round can do a whole lot with hardly any recoil at all.
