Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Now that Berger and others are making match bullets in 270 WSM, what advantage does the 6.5X284 or the 7mm WSM have?

Based on my experiences with the older M77 tang safety Rugers many were not that accurate. I bought a new 6 mm rem and it was terrible, would only shoot the 100 gr semi roundnose Sierra . The worst was a 7 x 57 that had a ton of freebore. IMO both had chambering issues. As for other Rugers shooting I would say that shot okay but not great. I know Ruger didn't make their barrels in the beginning, have read many stories here about inaccurate guns.

The only reason I have rem takeoffs or Liljas on my Rugers is that I found all but one used. I do have two out of three Rugers bedded, the 284 is just sitting in the Mickey stock. I just don't buy new rifles that often. Lawson's has good reamers and a talented gunsmith, I feel it made the difference. All I know is the rebarreled rifles really shoot.

I have never experienced any problems with the angled front action screw. It is harder to bed. I suppose I am not very scientific, I torque down the front and back action screws as hard as I can with one hand.


Rost495, right after I posted I saw your post...what do you mean by Ruger being anti gun? Sounds like a strange statement for a company that makes firearms.
