I have a Zastava M98 with a 24 inch No 1 contour barrel, 1:866 inch twist. It will group 175-gr. bullets into little clusters. If you're shooting heavies in the Ruger, you'll be happy with that twist. "An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots."

Remington 175gr pspcl from hand loads went into two inches as did hand loaded 160 grain Speer deep curls,which is about all that these 66 year old eyes can muster on most days! A Leupold 2-7 will be mounted later this week. The trigger pull is about 4 lbs. with very slight creep. All in all I'm happy with the rifle, fit and finish is very good. The gun weighs 7lb,7oz.

Are these new one's throated long or more normal? MB Looks to be a more normal throat - 160's seated to the rifling leaves the bullet bases at or just below the neck/shoulder junction. My No. 1A 7x57 is throated much longer barely holding on to a 160 seated to the rifling. J Gray a buddy of mine has one of those 1A's in 7x57 it absolutely loved factory WW 175 gr RN's. I had a box and we tried them they grouped well and I gave him the box for a cow buffalo hunt , he only had to shoot once. They'll probably kill some depredation whitetail does this winter.

I threw a Leupold VX-3 1-5 on it, for now, and an Andy's Leather Rhodesian sling. I also ordered a #3 front ring to lower it a tad. I know you can trade 'em, but last time I did that with Ruger on a No #1 it took like a month.

The one blemish on the whole gun is the rear sight base. It appears to be canted ever so slightly to the left if you are looking at it from above. There is at least one more on gunbroker that appears to be the same way, as there is a good picture of the rear sight from above. It isn't enough for me to bother with sending it back to ruger. I'm not going to risk getting the bluing scratched or the stock messed up when they go to "fix" it. Besides, I'm gonna put a scope on anyway and I'll probably never use the irons. Overall it's a really nice rifle and I'm glad I picked one up.

Had an FXII 6x36 begging for something to do and I obliged. Used a 3 & 4 ring set. The rifle came w/ 4 & 5 rings. May even look for a 2 to lower the scope. Looks like there is plenty of room. And since then the wind has blown 15 +; just the way of things. Hopefully elkchser can get a couple pics posted for me. I like this rifle!!! "The more I am around people the better I like my dog."

Would appreciate if you could post up if you find more than one #2 Ruger ring. Currently have a 3/4 ring set, with extra daylight under the scope. Not huge. But, pretty sure I could come down one more step. Thx...

It's showing good accuracy potential but I'm getting misfires so didn't get to finish what I wanted to shoot. I'll strip the bolt, clean it and try again (I had the exact same issue with my Hawkeye African 9.3x62 and a good bolt scrubbing cleared it up).

It's not apples to apple as the Renner is a M77 PreWar vs. the Rigby styling. I don't have a scale to weigh them, but, I assure you the Renner is lighter, even with the FX-3 (which looks like a Hubble compared to the VX3 1-5). As you can see, the stock is a couple inches shorter on the Renner and quite narrower on the fore-end. The Pre-War feels much more, uh, svelte (can I use that word on a gun forum ?). But, to be fair, the Renners will set you back quite a bit more. Overall I really like both rifles and won't change a thing on the Ruger African .275 other than switch out the matte 1-5 with a gloss VX3 1-5. I like it enough I'm going to delay having a M77 turned into a Faux Rigby by RJ.
