I've come across the claim that 'poor' design of the model 77 receivers is one the the reasons they are not used as a competative bench rest rifle.



Or for that matter chosen by any agency for use as a tactical rifle.

Quote;

if you took a Ruger and redesigned the action a bit.



For CONSISTENT precision shooting and sniping, the ruger isn't top choice.



Now if you guys are happy with your Rugers so be it but please don't posion the minds of the unexpecting with your fantasies of a great Ruger Target rifle. Ruger was designed to be a great gun for the average hunter!



How much truth is there to these claims?

Any thought apreciated.
