I bought a Ruger Hawkeye last spring and, after I altered the mag well to relieve binding stress on the action, the thing shoots 'lights-out'. A buddy of mine showed me a recent write up in Sporting Classics on the Ruger Model 77. As I read it I could tell it was just a generic 3 page marketing blurb about the 77 basics, nothing based on range work.
I couldn't help but notice the two page advertising spread on Ruger at the front end of the issue, maybe even before the contents page. I've purchased quite a few issues of SC and that was the first big ad, certainly the most expensive, for Ruger I've seen in that magazine.
I own a late model 70 by FN as well the Ruger hawkeye, and couldn't be more satisfied with both.
