Hope this has not been a thread here before (I couldn't find it if is was) but as I recall from some place, Ruger bolt rifles are supposed to be of better quality in the last few years than in the past. Most I've owned were older models and would not shoot very well. Last year, I bought a new lam. stainless MK II in .223. No matter what I try, 2" to 2.5" groups are the best it will do. Free floated, fore end bedded, doesn't matter. Did I get a the odd bad one or are they still hit and miss for accuracy (pun not intended).
