certainly can't argue with that. However I'm now more concerned with American purchased.....and overwhelmingly the evidence is that the Rugers are of inadequate quality.....both in quality of trigger and accuracy.....

Having been a quality manager with a fortune 500 company, I know that quality mirrors the company's management.....not the workers! Ruger is off limits on this purchase.


Mule Deer:
" I've owned a pile of 77's of all eras. While one barrel truly sucked (a 7x57 with a bore that had numerous loose spots, with the tight spots measuring .287), all the others shot anywhere from acceptably to very well. My acceptable rating is three shots in an inch for big game rifles, and five shots in an inch for varmint rifles, and very well is half that. Most of them required some work on the bedding and trigger, but then a lot of factory rifles do."

Boxer - Big Stick:
"I've Ruger familiarity and accept them for what they are. Light or bullet proof they are not, though curiously enough they are oft maligned by the masses for "accuracy" woe which I've yet to see, though of course I shoot a bit, which tend to tip numerous scales."
