I agree with You on the Ruger Jim, they would have a world class rifle with a little tighter tolerances, the 504's I owned had zero issues as far as function, after several thousand rounds through each rifle I can't recall even one fail to feed, extract or eject with either rifle, the accuracy I experienced was good but not great, both would shoot .5" at 50yds but they had to have the exact right ammo to do it, most ammo would produce .6" to .75" groups at this distance, acceptable accuracy in a hunting rifle for sure but still not what I would consider a "Tack Driver"..............VaHillbilly.
