Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters About the Ruger M77 Lightweight 20"...

I owned a pair of Ruger 257 Roberts Ultra-lights. I picked these up late in the Mark II run as the Hawkeye was coming out. Fit and finish was excellent, accuracy was also good, running and inch or less for 3-5 shot groups. The reason I parted with them is that while they shot well from the bench, I was horrid with them from field positions. That short/light barrel coupled with a semi-heavy action and walnut stock was just a bad combination for balance. Very butt heavy.
