Ruger M77/22M results - 05/16/18
Finally got a chance to actually shoot this rifle. It's one I bought nearly a year ago, got rid of the hideous blue/gray finish, mounted a Leupold 2.5X8 Vari-X III scope on it and set up a target at 50 yds.. Using Winch. Supreme .22 JHP ammo and getting it zeroed in - I tried to see what the rifle would do.
Considering the fact that I've not shot a rifle off a bench for about 3 years, that the trigger hasn't been touched, and the wind was a-blowin' about 20 mph from L to R, AND my trigger time in general needs a ton of work/practice - it performed rather well.
Furthest upper-right and two below the horizontal were pure trigger jerks and trying to squeeze between the breeze (and heartbeats) - the other 6 shots resulted in a .5" cluster.. Now I just have to get that trigger 'right' and try again on a calmer day - but overall I'm impressed and very happy with this rifle.
