Remember Dave-Imitation is the Highest Form of Flattery.


This discussion help motivate me to do a little more work to try to get this .300 RSUM to shoot. I bedded the tang, action, the complete barrel shank and the bottom metal in a Boyds laminated stock. I also sealed the inside of the stock and floated the barrel. The rifle has had a trigger job, the action screws replaced, trigger pins secured in place, action trued and a factory contoured PAC-NOR barrel installed. In other words, I have done enough work on this Ruger that it should be called a Mark lll. It is now a consistent one inch or so rifle, and I have a pretty good hunting rig. CP.
