[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 328466, member: 11717"] I'm guessing you have the tang safety M77? I have the same rifle which I bought in 88. I got a cheap aftermarket fiberglass stock for it and it shot well for a long time. Most factory ammo about .75 to 1.5 MOA and hand loads about .5 to .75 MOA. After about 1000 rounds it went south. The stock compressed and the tang screw came up out of the receiver and interfered with the bolt - not good. Also got the bore scoped and the throat was cooked. Another thing to look for in the M77's isthe front angled action screw. That will often end up touching the stock in the hole drilled for it which will affect accuracy. I dont have a clue what Ruger was thinking of when they came up with the angled front screw??? Anyway, your accurracy problem may very well be one or a combination of these things. Other things to check, make sure your bed is clean and dry, scope mounts and rings, scope itself and crown. If I ever use my m77 for a build, I will have the front screw drilled and tapped into the reciver the right way and pillar bed the stock. Mark [/QUOTE]
