I have a Ruger 96. The stock leaves a bit to be desired but this rifle is extremely accurate. It will shoot anything I put in it. It seems to have a slight preference for 255 hardcast and the nosler 250 partition. With a two power scope I can group about an inch at 50 and just under two at a hundred. It handles well and you cannot argue the convience of a box magazine. Action is very smooth and quick.It requires only about half the movement to cycle the action than any other lever action I have used.
