H & K 770

Hawkshaw
Another what's it worth question. H&K 770 308 cal. I have 3 & 10 round magazines for it. I bought it new in the mid 80s and maybe put 75 rounds through it. Also, it does have a inexpensive scope mounted on it. I,m considering trading it in on an AR-15, but don't have a clue what it's worth. Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I have pics but don't know how to post them here..

    What is the considered opinion of the H&K 770 in 308?? Who distributes their guns in the US? Do they make an extended mag for this gun. THX HAWKSHAW

    My late father bought one in the 1980's. I still have it. I think they were discontinued in the early nineties. Got to say it is one of the best shooting semi autos i have ever shot. Low recoil, tight groups and comfortable stock. Fun to shoot actually but it also has what has to be the worst location for a safety that there ever was, located in the middle of the forearm on the left side. Here is a part of an article on them :

    the Model 770, along with the Model 940 (.30-06) is the closest one can get to a credible big-game sporting rifle utilizing an action originally designed for a fully automatic military arm.

    The safety, is inaccessible if we assume that on a hunting rifle it should be reachable if not by the trigger hand, then the support hand, when the gun is held in a port-arms position or at the shoulder. On this rifle the safety lever is on the left side of the forearm just above the front edge of the elongated trigger guard

    What looks like an unusually massive receiver on the H&K is actually a machined steel cowl that covers the action mechanism: a retarded inertia system utilizing a delayed roller-locked bolt. Bolt thrust is transferred to two hardened steel rollers at either side of the bolt.

    The receiver cowl is machined to accept H&K's own QD scope mount, a rather heavy item (about 8 ounces, , but one which is rugged and permits truly instant mounting-dismounting of the optics. The three-round detachable magazine fits nicely flush with the belly of the rifle and is released via a latch in the forward edge of the guard bow.

    Adding yet another dimension to the uniqueness of this H&K rifle is its polygonal bore instead of conventional land/groove rifling. This H&K was chambered in .308 Winchester. Overall length is 44-1/2 inches and the weight is 8 pounds.

    Found an image and there are 10 round mags available but they have become pricy as have the claw mounts.

    Ran in to one, few years back. Since the one I saw didn't have the scope mounts I passed. I want to say "Sarco" was the gun runner.

    I did wonder if G-3/H&K-91 mags would fit (now that would've been cool).

    I had one several years ago. It was very comfortable except, as noted, the odd safety location. The receiver cover MUST be fully tightened as it supports the internal mechanism as it cycles - learned that the hard way. The iron sights were fully reliable out to as far as I was willing to take a non-optics assisted shot. I could never get a scope to zero in the H&K scope mounts - always too high. the 10 rounders and claw mounts were always expensive.
