Buddy gifted me two Douglas barreled factory Rugers. One was a sporter barreled 22-250 and the other a varmint barreled 220 swift. Both exceedingly accurate with 55 grain ballistic tips. I dropped the 22-250 into a clearance McMillan I snagged one year and bedded the lug. Still shoots great and keeps my factory stock intact. Didn't read the whole thread but I have had good luck with Ruger 77 rifles over the years.
