I've found that Ruger seems to build a good utilitarian rifle. It ain't never gonna give you bench-rest accuracy but they're 'ok'.. The main complaint I get from customers is the lawyer-set trigger. One guy brought in a Ruger M77 that he thought needed some trigger work.
I'd say... When I attached the scale and started pulling, I thought the safety was on. It wasn't. I ran out of scale at over 12#.... After I reworked it down to a much more acceptable 3.5# the guy came back to try it out.
Within a week he'd brought in about 3 more rifles to have trigger work done.
