People hollering about how accurate their Ruger's are is making me chuckle.
Had 5 of them and they were consistently behind Brownings, Sakos and even poorly assembled, early 90's model 700's as far as accuracy was concerned.
Not a bad rifle, accurate enough and I'm certainly not knocking them, but they're down the list when discussing accurate factory rifles.
Very dependable though.
Chuckle away.
M77 Hawkeye, 280 Rem: MOA (another) M77 Hawkeye, 280 Rem: MOA M77 Hawkeye, 35 Whelen: sub MOA M77 MK11, 350 Rem Mag: MOA M77 Hawkeye Compact: 1.5 in @100 yards. All straight out of the box, factory ammo. I must be one lucky SOB to get such consistent results throughout the years.
I won't drink the swirled Kool-Aid .....well, maybe, if it looks like wood
