Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Mauser 77 was probably the best rear locking modern bolt action to appear in the seventies and eighties period when manufacturers were trying to “modernize” their bolt action rifles with moves to push feed as opposed to controlled feed actions. In Europe there seemed to be a concerted effort to move away from the traditional front locking actions such as the Mauser 98 and instead to create rear locking actions, which we saw on the Steyr Mannlicher and JP Sauer/Colt Sauer. American manufacturers mostly did not attempt to move to rear locking actions although Remington dabbled with it with their Model 788.
The Mauser 77 took a similar approach to the Sauer and Steyr rear locking designs but kept things simple and solid. Whereas the Sauer used retracting locking lugs the Mauser used fixed ones. Whereas the Steyr used multiple small locking lugs the Mauser 77 used three nice big ones. It was an action with that “shutting the bank vault door” feel about it. Solid, beautifully made, and dependable. At the rear of the bolt on the bolt shroud was the safety catch. This was the same to operate as the safety on the Mauser 66; it had a push vertically forward action and had a small locking tab that needed to be depressed before it could be pushed forward into the fire position. To the rear of the safety on the right side of the tang was another small button.
This was to activate the set trigger if a light trigger for a precise shot was needed. The button simply needed to be pushed forwards once, it would spring back when released and the trigger was set to a very light pull. If the shooter changed his/her mind and wanted to unset the trigger then one simply engaged the safety catch, and then pressed the trigger to unset the mechanism. Simple, convenient and safe.
