One other thing about the #1 and this includes the M77s as well. Ruger apparently does not seal the interior wood on their rifles. I got caught in a pretty heavy rainstorm on an elk hunt in Oregon and me and the rifle were thoroughly soaked. Even though I wiped everything dry, the stock and forearm were noticeably swollen. I'm still surprised the wood wasn't damaged by the swelling. I took the wood off the rifle and placed it out in my shed to dry out. I'd put it back on and it was 6 years before that rifle would shoot to POA again. It would pay to seal all the raw wood on those rifles.

Our forefathers did not politely protest the British.They did not vote them out of office, nor did they impeach the king,march on the capitol or ask permission for their rights. ----------------They just shot them.
