[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 678562, member: 48043"] As others have stated the easiest way to find if a rifle shoots decently or not is to run an existing load through it. They are correct that you shouldn't use a max load for this; something mild or a decent factory may be in order. The rugers have triggers that can be worked with, the 77 mark1's can be adjusted, the mark2's can be lightened by a slight crush on the trigger spring as long as there is still enough tension to keep everything in place. A better option may be an aftermarket spring for a few bucks. I haven't seen a ruger yet that won't put 5 in 1.5" at 100, but I have seen a few that will only do 2" for 10 shots. [/QUOTE]
