Gotta add one more thing about my Ruger. Although it came with rings and I probably have a good scope I won't be putting a scope on this rifle. The stock is perfect with the factory sights. I don't like my face off the stock and think that shooting that way would effect the felt recoil and eventually make me shy away from shooting the rifle. If I were to put a scope on the rifle I'd build up the stock was that I could get a firm rest for my cheek.
After PMing a great writer I got some advice about that on my other 77. I built up that stock so that I could get a good rest for my cheek and I eventually replaced that stock. Now that 7mm RM shoots fine without pain.

I'm still shooting those solids at around 2300+. No issue with recoil. And I'm old, with bersitus and arthritis.

But I think knowing the limits is a good thing even if you don't go that far.
