Patrick Sweeney wrote a comparison between a pre-64 Winchester and a Ruger Mk II. I got the subscription to this magazine as a gift from my wife, and I say this because after reading this article it will never ever be renewed. Let me start by saying I equally like Ruger Mk II and the original 77 almost as much as I like Model 70's but the points this guy tried to make in favor of the 77 were simply pathetic.

They both feed the same
Angled action screw is superior
The Win uses 3 action screws instead of 2 like the Ruger
Easier to bed the Ruger
Ruger is lighter
Ruger is more accurate
Trigger pull,scope mounting ease and accuracy it beats the Model 70



Totally slanted article, come on now I have owned many examples of both and this guy needs to find another career.
