[QUOTE="Gene, post: 328381, member: 7402"] I have owned several Ruger 77's and none of them shot well, despite my best efforts at floating the barrel , various reloads, etc. I am told the newer models are much different and generally shoot well. About 20 years ago I was in a local gun shop and heard the owner talking to a customer who wanted a Ruger. The owner, a gunsmith, told the customer that he ordered a Ruger 77 for another customer, with new scope and factory ammo. A week later the customer was back, complaining that the best groups at 100 yds. were around 2-3". The gulnsmith took the rifle and a short time later went to his range and shot it. The customer was correct, groups were lousy. So he returned the rifle to Ruger. Soon thereafter, it was returned with a note "The firearm performs according to our factory specifications". I heard the shop owner tell this potentiaL customer: "No Ruger will ever come thru my door again". [/QUOTE]
