The Standard and Target models are available in three calibers, .22 LR, .22 WMR, or .22 Hornet, while the All-weather model is available in two, .22 LR and .22 WMR.

A version chambered for the .17 Mach 2 and .17 HMR cartridges, the 77/17, is also available. It's essentially the same gun with a .17 caliber barrel.
