[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2687878, member: 69192"] Both of the attached targets are Ruger 77, tang safety rifles. The target on the left is in 30-06 @ 100 yards and the one on the right is a .270 Ackley Improved. I was told by a few gunsmiths that the Ruger 77 platform was not a good platform for building a rifle and that they would not take on the job. I found a gunsmith in Montana who liked working on Ruger 77s and who proved that to be incorrect. I've always liked the mechanics, the look and the feel of the Ruger 77 and will continue to build rifles using them. My latest acquisition is a Ruger Gunsite Scout rifle in .450 Bushmaster, haven't had time to take it to the range. I don't believe that I will be doing much to this rifle other than to float and glass bed the barrel and pillar bed the rear action screw. [/QUOTE]
