- The Mauser 77 is excellent - yet not well known. The Golden Eagle by Nikko (Kanematsu Gosho) is rear locking like the Mauser 77. I have a Mauser 66 on the table as it was a contemporary of the Mauser 77. In error I say the Golden Eagle is by Miroku - I lost my concentration : it is made by Nikko - Kanematsu Gosho - also of Japan. Mauser Model 77 / Mauser 66 / Golden Eagle by Kanematsu Gosho (not Miroku) of Japan -- Let's learn together!

That Mauser 77 is very cool. I will have to add that to the list. You never talk too much. There are those of us who benefit greatly from your knowledge. Many thanks!!!! :-)
I feel better now - I really thought I talk too much. All the best.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns You do not talk too much. It's all very valuable.
I am sellin a 77 in cal 270
These rifle are truly a work of art
Thank you. I'm genuinely impressed with the Mauser 77, the ingenuity that went into it and the beautiful design.
Pretty remarkable rifle Rich - wish they had remained in production a little longer.
I just picked one up for myself!!! 30-06 a bit heavy but you were not kidding about the quality of the build.
Beautiful rifle that I plan to hunt with soon!
USOG On My job once I got some 250 gallon totes to drain My Turbine Generator oil into that were marked Mauser. I looked this up and found out that the container company that had made these oil totes was actually a branch of the original Mauser Company. I thought this was neat. God Bless You Sir, beautiful rifles.
That is neat Rick - something about that Mauser banner evokes all kinds of thoughts and ideas. I keep filming...life is so good - my cup runneth over : God Bless.
what a great review for younger folks thinking about collecting these jewels that are worthy of passing down through generations. i don't know how often you can run across these important collectibles these days as my collecting days are long over, but what a wonderful thing if you can own (for a while) these works of art.
Wise words Greg. Thank you for taking the time to write.
7x64 is a fantastic cartridge! It was all the rage in Germany in the 70s to 80s, the ideal hunting cartridge for our game. Nowadays it has fallen into disfavor by the common buyer since now all what people want and buy is .308 Win.
Which is good for us that are in the know, high quality Mausers in this chambering can be picked up rather cheap! I own a DWM Mauser 98 in 7x64, 58cm barrel length
Love your videos. Best gun channel on youtube.
Keep up the good work. You cannot talk to much about quality firearms.
I had a 77 in 375 HH i used in African. It had a 4 power Schmidt & Bender scope with swing off mounts.
It was on the heavy side and the set trigger position took some getting use to but it was a killing machine for sure.
I also had the pleasure of handling a 66 in 243 Win if i remember correctly. That bolt slide arrangement was a work of engineering art. A sweet rifle.
Thanks for your vid, brought back some old memories :)
Hello Nashuf - 77s in .375 H&H - quite rare as you know; fantastic rifle - I shot one once. The 66 is a technical tour de force - a place for one in every collection. Thanks for taking the time to write. All the best to you.
Love your videos. You’ve convinced me multiple times previously to add to my own collection. Now it’s happened again...this time I’m searching for a Mauser 77 on gunbroker.
i am selling mine in cal 270
You are NOT talking too much! But watching this channel always makes me want to buy something new (old) with money I don't have yet... Keep up the good work!
The wood stocks on those rifles are just beautiful
Another great video!
Hello Mike - long time fan from Germany here. We share a passion for certain rifles, I own a Steyr Luxus in 30-06, a Sauer 80 in 8x68 S, a Mauser 77 in 30-06 (second one in .270 with a full stock incoming) and a Mauser 66 SL in .308. I wanted to point out that the later models of the Mauser 66 were also available with the button on the stock to set the trigger (these models were called Mauser 66 SM or Mauser 66 SL depending on the grade of the wood). Thank you for your amazing content over all these years, much appreciated.
Your Mauser 77 is cool. I love single set triggers!
Thanks for another good video !!
Thank you Jerell.
Hi Mike.. I'm really liking this model 77.. Thanks for all your videos !
Hi Steve - the 77 is a rock - a great rifle in just about every way.
Thanks for the video. Haven´t know before about the Mauser 77, in the world of firearms you never stop learning new things.. Very nice gun and very good and classic cartridge. Regards.
Hello Nicolas - Such an interesting design - the 77 is not easy to find - but worth looking for. One of my favorite Mausers.
That mauser 66 sure is nice seems like a real winner!great vidio very informative
Great stuff as usual
Always a lift receiving your messages!
Great Video, the Mause 77 is a wonderful piece of art. Thanks for sharing.
Thans Eloy - I wish they had made more - so hard to find.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns I am selling mine
Think ive watched this vid like 5 times. I just love that japanese made golden eagle rifle . Id buy one so fast if i find one. Just great content and awesome job explaining. Ty
Hi John - Thanks for the kind words! I hope you find a GE - fantastic! Cheers!
Thanks for the video, I saw a few of them on a rack the other day and wondered what they where. The guy who owned them had a paticularly interesting .270 with a target stock. Interestingly the also remind me of the blaser action. Keep up the good work mate.
Amazing - that target stock model is extremely scarce. Try to buy them all! : ) ....just teasing. Wish I could find a .308.
Great Video
I got a Nikko Golden Eagle, Beautiful doesn't Describe it, Action is Smooth as Butter...
Not easy to find!
Just fabulous video!
Thank you!
Just watched a tour of the Rizzini factory. Beautiful guns!
After years of looking, I found a Mauser 660 with three barrels and original case, never been fired other than in the factory. Amazing find.
Hi Timothy - Remarkable good fortune! Unheard of actually. Good on you! These are so scarce and valuable now - of great and lasting value.
Wow look at the forehand on that 77 nice and slim!! Ugly wouldn't be my opinion!!
thank you again for the great video!!
I knew of this model's existence but for some reason never paid attention. Thank you for another excellent video.
Thank you for watching. Stay safe.
In fact the second-hand prices of the 66 (not overly appreciated) are lower than the 77 at least in Spain (all below the M98). Anyone who sees those Apel, Mak or Rusan bases in Europe considers that the price can go up 300 Euros. The iconic European cartridges are, among others, the 7X64 Brenneke, 6,5X55, 6,5X62 freres, 7/8X57 mauser, the 8x68S, the 9s of german origin and the H&H magnum for big game with a lot of weight and resistance, although less frequent.
7:47 there are many European types of cheek pieces, this one we call a Bavarian cheek piece. (note: a Bavarian cheekpiece usually comes in tandem with a Schnabel on the forearm, which at Stuetzen stocks show up half way the forearm)
Great stuff as always . You allude to hunting in many of your videos. Wondering if you would consider expanding your channel with some of hunting excursions
Ah my Mauser 77 i love this Gun i have one in 8x68s it is heavier than the 66 so the 8x68s is milder to shoot with the 77 in comparsion something like a 30.06 in a Blaser R93 or R8
The 7x64 is still a very popular Caliber here in Germany i think one third of all Mauser 77 and 66 here in Germany were with this Caliber
Big Advantage over the 270.Win (the 7x64 was created by Brennecke as Counterpart for the 270 in the early 1920 who was first nobody knows :-) ) is the bigger Sortiment of Bullets in 284 Diameter so Reloaders have more Choice at the Bulletweight and so on
All big Ammunition Factorys sell Hunting Ammunition for this Caliber Lapua Hornady Sako Barnes Geco Rws Norma S&B ..... with different Bulletweights for different Game from Roedeer to Wildboar from Fox to Moose the 7x64 is very versatile in good Hands
Greetings from Germany
the nikko golden eagle found its way into my larder 30 yrs ago. unfortunately i was, by this time, unenamored of magnums, and this came in 7mm mag which has left it idle. i never ever came across the 77, which come hell or high water would have joined the fold (in any caliber, shootable or not). it would have been unsafe in my hands with that heat of the finger set trigger, but would still be on display where it's brilliance could occasionally be mesmerizing.. thanks for the candy.....
So informative as usual. Currently Mauser model 18 guarantees 5 shot groups under an inch. I can see from the lineage you presented in this video, how that is possible. Great rifles.
Hi Ronald - I'll get a Model 18 in - I've heard all kinds of good things about them. Thanks for writing.
Nice subject coverage. Subscribed- AlltheBest
Thank you!
I must say, I never cared for the European style of stocks, however you do get to have good eye to scope alignment. Despite what I consider an awkward looking stock. I was also not a big fan of rear locking, or cock on opening for that matter. But I have handled the Mauser and it was a nice feeling action. What really opened my eyes was years ago a Remington 788 in .243 came in which also is rear locking. And I was very impressed with the handling and the accuracy of that rifle. It's amazing how Remington, trying to produce an economy based and low priced rifle inadvertently produced one of the best rifles they have made in modern times. And this seems to be the norm for the 788. Well, regardless of the design, I think you will have done well with any rifle with the Mauser banner on the receiver ring.
the one who dies with the most,your gun collection is unbelievable, hats off
Thanks Matt! I can;t own them all but I can try.
Thanks
I have to disagree with you! LOL that gun is definitely extraordinary to me. I also think it's very beautiful I don't know how anybody would think it wasn't? I have to have one of those 77s. One of my favorite things is that two stage trigger not sure if that's what you call it but I love that feature. It looks incredibly well built and strong . Looks like it would last forever if taken care of. I don't know how anybody could be critical of your videos? You're so well informed. Thank you again
I am sellin my 77 in cal 270 and a beautiful sniper stock for the 66 magnum
Absolutely wonderful videos. I just fell upon your channel and watched a number of your presentations. You’re absolutely not talking too much. In fact, my very new (and possibly erroneous) opinion is I’m sure you have a lot more to say given your vast knowledge and passion for these firearms, but perhaps are trying to keep the videos short. You know better than anyone else what you’re trying to accomplish so I will just close with I would not mind more content and more detail, and of course more talking.
Thank you very much sir,
Sam
Hello Sam, Your words are so inspiring to me and help me a great deal. Thank you very, very, much.
I live by the bolt lift safety, if not hunting from a stand. The only drawback is that it's a lot easier to lose the bolt.
I leave the bolt open on my semi-automatics as well, when walking. It makes a bit of noise letting it ride forward, but by then the boars are already running. Nevertheless a great tip!
Hi Pixer - I like the open semi system! And you're right - the bolt could be lost. I'll mention next time. Thanks for writing.
Just back from France where my freind has a Mauser '66 in great condition with a beautiful vintage scope on claw mounts, but better still its in 6.5x68.
He doesn't use it much now as its more suitable for Alpine and Pyrenees hunting, just a little to much energy for Roe and close in driven boar.
Hopefully next year I'll get a chance to fire it along side his other Mausers
Great rifle and great cartridge - as you know; so scarce in 6.5x68; actually that chambering is not so common in any rifle. I hope you get to hunt with it! Or maybe your friend would sell? Ideal for this side of the big pond. Thanks for writing!
My freind had a golden eagle that was rear locking action i never saw where it strechted casing,using any sane preasure load,i guess some try to magnamize every thing they load even the magnums! Keep to factory specs when reloading and alls well.
Thanks for the video! There isnt much information or shared experiences on internet. Or I just couldnt find it. My local dealer has mauser mod. 77. I booked that right away for myself. It felt very well build when I lifted it up. Lock action is really smooth. Stock is very well made and in good condition. I preferred mauser 77 over tikka m65 or T3x. Lets see If it pays off 😁 Greetz from Finland 👍 Keep on your good work
Hello J. Lintu! I was just studying my Sako .17 HMR. What a fine rifle. Finnland is an amazing country - the rifles you produce are so very fine. As for your Mauser 77 - what a find! No one can find them! There is something about the 77 in hand - it wants to go hunting. I only have the 7x64 and it is special in the vault and even more special in the field. So glad you have one! The very best to you and thanks for writing.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Hi Usog! My Mauser 77 is in 6.5x55SE caliber. I can't find any information about my Mauser 77, have they produced mod 77 in 6.5x55SE caliber. I'm just wondering if the action and barrel is remade for that caliber afterwards. Serial number matches in stock, lock and barrel. So it has to be made originally in 6.5x55 cal? I'm confused. I know that Mauser made 6.5x55 cal rifles for swedish for their mausers early 1900.
@@J.L17 Hi, I have a Mauser 77 in 6,5x57, and one in 7x64, which were two of the standard calibers offered. I have never heard that it was made in 6,5x55, maybe it was custom made?
Hello Mike - can't get enough of your videos apparently since I am watching you on Patreon and TH-cam!!! Great video as always - informative and well done. Have your by chance ever seen a Mauser Model 96 straight pull Mike??? I was able to purchase two with scopes - in the box for a steal on a close out years ago. Very conventional looking - but well handling and very fast with the straight pull bolt. An interesting rifle if you have not yet seen one... But, what are the odds of me knowing about a rifle you do not own?!?!?!? ; ))) Thanks for your outstanding work Sir.
I am full of gratitude and thank you for being so supportive. The Mauser 96 is very cool - I'm just having trouble finding one. Apparently another firm makes them now. Thanks again and have a great weekend.
Didn't know that Mauser made a wierd Mauser 66. Also noticed that 66 has a kinda twin trigger. 77 looks more like my taste of rifle.
They are both quite unique and as odd as the 66 looks - there is a growing number of collectors and hunters looking for them. I suppose the appeal is in the difference or oddness.
Hi, a while back, I posted a question on one of your videos concerning the lack of a bolt release tab on a very early Mauser 66 that I own. Baffled me to no end, and could not figure out how get the bolt released without that tab that's on the later guns. Sorry, I can't find that original post/question, so I'll write this to convey what I've found. I've purchased a second model 66 last week, a stunning, never-fired gun that's flawless. Really an exciting find. I noted what that bolt release tab actually does, and discovered that it moves down a u-shaped device inside, which has tabs that stick up when not depressed, to keep the bolt group from sliding out the rear. On my early model 66 without that tab to push down that u-shaped device, just a small screwdriver does the job as well, pushing down that portion of that u-shaped device that you can see when the bolt group is pulled to the rear. Essentially, doing the same thing as the guns with bolt release tabs, but with a small instrument to do the job in the same place.
I hope this makes sense. It was a huge frustration, especially since the Mauser owner's manual did not address the issue of guns with no tabs.
Keep up your very fine videos! I always enjoy watching them, especially if they have anything to do with Mauser, Rigby or Blaser rifles.
The IDF had a variant of the 66 mauser the SP66.
Wish I could find a Mauser Model 77 for sale. I think they are amazing designs!
Very nice low bolt lift, allows for a bulky scope if you so chose.
It really is a sharp rifle with some great features - therefor had to be discontinued quickly.
I can understand why you focus so much on the used market. So many gems of the old days are out of production!
You can buy factory ammo in 7x64 made by Barnes, Sellier & Bellot, Prvi Partizan, RWS, Brenneke, SAKO, Norma, Hornady, Blaser, Lapua, Geco and probably some more manufacturers.
And recently, Remington!
Thank you,looking forward to it! Re Mod77 and Golden Eagle; there`s not much difference in quality between a Volkswagen and a Toyota! PS,there some nice peep sights at 10:50.
Hahaha - good point. And you bet - some nice sights visiting the gun table these days - video coming. Take care.
I recently found your videos. Great job on all. I recently purchased a like new Golden Eagle 7000 in .300 Weatherby. After doing extensive research on Nikko, I've found so many similarities in the Model 777 Winchester that Nikko made. Question I have are they pretty much the same gun?
Hi John, Thanks for the good words and yes, they are the same - very scarce and valuable.
Fast Fact: the once setted Trigger, dis-set by Lifting the Bolt
Fast Fact2: the Mauser 77 safety works on the Bolt, like the m98. It’s not a trigger safety or so.
Fast Fact3: there are older and newer models of the m77 on market: the newer have a stronger stock, you‘ll see at the magazine button, sits in a small deeper area.
Barrel-/overall length / weight
Regular Kaliber:
60cm (24“)/ 112cm (45“)/3,5kg
Magnum Caliber:
65cm (26“)/ 117cm (47“)/3,7kg
3 rounds in Standard and Magnum Magazines.
Thank you for the fast facts!
Yet another surprise rifle I didn't know about, thanks. We must be brothers from another mother because not only had I written bout my say "dislike" for the 66, but as soon as you picked what you said was the cheapest model I instantly could tell even before you pulled the action, I was going to like it better. Same as is in I would take the Howa over the Weatherby even if I had the money. Expensive is not sometimes always better, 95% of the time it is, but they we find this gems. I just got a Serbian Mauser NIB in .270 win $373 out the door, plus FFL fee of course. Had one in 7mm-08 form a couple of years now and I can't believe the price hasn''t gone up so even tho I don't need the .270 at that price I couldn't refuse. BTW the 7 is deadly accurate out to 100 yds with iron sights only. Can't wait to shoot the .270 and my new CZ FS in 30-06 snatched one up since they're not making them anymore.
Another great buy!
Thanks. I was thinking, Henry seems to have a philosophy which I like. Their new single action rifles and shotguns are indeed their most affordable models other than the .22lr plain model. I know the outside cover of the receiver of the pumps is some alloy, but some corners can be cut(is the receiver inside itself steel?) others not so much. If you can't tell am also a bit of a babbler, anyways what am saying is that us and I are in dire need of a review of a gun maker I may purchase a product down the road. All one can find mostly are reviews of the levers. The newer products including the .308/ .243 repeaters are mostly Henry promotional videos, not somebody taking them apart or shooting them. Jeez and I gotta save up for a Merkel too now? You've been a bad influence.....
Good to read from you. As you know, Henry products work and are popular; but as you note...a lot of aluminum...which is not all bad. I'll get my hands on one or more and review. Thanks for suggesting.
USOG the brass and silver models are very heavy i hear. Are those aluminum as well?
USOG i forgot the most important question. How are the new single shots, both rifle and shotgun. Also aluminum? I know you're busy business man, time is not of the essence.
I could listen to you all day... Now the question about my first rifle is getting more and more complex : budget, history, quality, collectibility, reference to my home countries Austria /Hungary and Bavaria. Hmm... Don't even know where to start.
Thank you Woodsmans Finest - you'll probably be in a gun store or somewhere and pick up a rifle and something about the "feel" of the gun will be "right" - not necessarily quantifiable; and that will be it. At least that's what happens to a lot of people and happened to me . If someone asked me "Why that one?" - I wouldn't exactly know.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns perfect answer! Thank you!
Excellent video as usual, keep them coming. The 66 is a nice rifle but the 77 is odd in that it looks conventional, but has an unusual rear locking bolt. Also your tastes are not odd, just refined. What is the story behind the Webley flare pistol you have on the table ? I love all things Webley, but sadly they are now only a name on cheap imported guns.
Hi! I'm the same about Webley! The flare gun is part of a video I'm planning on flare guns - just didn't get to it yet. Too bad they use the Webley name the way they do now.
I think mauser should reintroduce the 77 and 66 models very high quality seldom seen these.days but very,very well msde.
my dad has a Golden Eagle in .375 H&H. It is a beautiful and incredibly smooth rifle. Unfortunately, it is in a caliber that makes it something of an artillery piece.
Hi Jason - Yes indeed - only so many things for a .375 to do. I know some that load it lighter - but one has to fill the case enough so it is never a timid round as you know. Scarce and superb rifle though.
Hey USOG i was wondering if you had any guns made by Johann springer Erben wein like a Mauser sporter if you will ??
Hi Duke - sacred ground : I had a Johann Springer combination gun - 16 over 7X57R and a kipplauf - 2 of the finest guns I ever owned. Stupid me sold them. There is something about Springers . Once, reflecting on guns with friends I was asked why I think Springers are so special - naturally I've seen and handles several. I answered : "It is as if they were born, not made." : ) I have fun with words sometimes. If you have one - keep forever.
USOG oh wow well I would love to show you mine sir it’s quite interesting, I’m not to sure if it was made by them or contracted out is there a way I can email you some pics or something if that nature
Hi USOG, what’s the material of the Triggerquard and the Floorplate of your Magazine ? Is it Aluminium? Mine is hardly worn out :(
Or is the American m66 and m77 triggerquard out of steel????!
Have you seen the „Steelaction HS or HM“? It’s a newer straight pull from 🇩🇪
Only the magazine follower is out of plastic!
Hi Johannes - sorry I'm slow - aluminum. Some Rugers have steel - but I'm not sure which ones.
Idk for some reason I just don’t like the rear locking lugs. Can’t beat the good old fashion Mausers with front locking lugs and a big claw extractor
For sure you're right - the 77 is just interesting and in the hands is special; but not better than a 98. Actually - nothing is - as you know.
Mauser produced 3.637 Mauser 77 + 5 Prototypes. Most of them are in 7x64 and 30-06
Thanks Johannes - I did not know how scarce they are. The total production is very low. Thanks for the info.
😮😀😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Chris.
So....where do you get these strange calibers?
Hello Zoes - RWS, Sellier & Bellot, NORMA and Wolf seem to cover most of the odd cals. There are some that are so old, no one makes them. I used to make some of the really old cals using .348 Winchester brass - which has a generous rim. One way or another it is possible to make cartridges for just about anything - although the rim fires can be challenging.
When watching your video, I suddenly found that the stock of Sako 85 Bavarian is so similar to Mauser 77?
Good observation - good eyes : )
I've had my 66S approximately 44 years and am trying to find a Mauser replacement recoil pad for it. Any help in finding one will be deeply appreciated.
Hi Billie - I'll keep an eye out. As you know - you have such a fine rifle. In the meantime, nothing wrong with a red or black decelerator. of about the same thickness. IMHO
Thank you. I would love to keep it all Mauser, if at all possible.
Is that 77 for sale?
Once fired cases properly resized for a particular chamber, will not have improper case lengthening. It sounds kind of elitist, but there is a difference between a reloader and a hand loader.
That being said, those are gorgeous rifles. I did love seeing the 77 again. That’s what you get when someone loves and takes pride in what they do.
The 66 looks like the too often German quark of over engineering every thing. The 77 looks like a great rifle wonder why they quit making it. The 7x64 is a great cartridge. It would do anything a .280 or 7mm magnum would do. Only problem would be you can't go to your local Wal-Mart and find it.
It is true John - the 66 is an engineering adventure. No idea why they quit on the 77 - one of the best. Glad you know about the 7X64 - so many write me and have not heard of it.
Do you wear a hairpiece? I'm emboldened by you intro to ask anything. Hope I don't offend. Your content is pure gold because I love bolt action rifles. Its because of the bolt. I only can think of one word to describe it: sexy. Not in a sexual way but it's just the only thing I can think of. I just like the way it slides and clicks and is so mechanical.
Hi Aamir - not yet : ) There must be something about how my hair looks - you're not the first one to ask. I'm always happy to answer. I guess I should comb it differently - my hair gets so thick and heavy it probably looks like a helmet hahaha. Bolt actions are slick and your description is probably not far off. All the best.
You got ball on talking rifles, M77 is the greatest Mauser rifle ever made, I have got the new Mauser M98 and it is not better than M77.
Thanks for writing Steven : )
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns I got the only 308w M98 and M77 in Australia. I really like ur video. Thank you for sharing.
