My first was a model 77 tang safety in .22-250. Mid 90's time frame. Has never shot like I thought it should. A timney trigger and a bedding job over the years. Wears a Leopold vari-xII. Has killed a pile of deer and turkeys and assorted varmints. Thought was all I'd ever need. Safe full later and still look at but don't ever hunt it. Pretty sure was one of rugers poor barrel models. Maybe one day will rebarrel it.
