[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 1737688, member: 85874"] First thing to do is give that classic gun a good cleaning all the way down to bare metal with a good carbon cutter then use a good copper cutter. Then have a good shooting friend or a gunsmith fit the gun to you and maybe adjust the scope forward to fit your body type and size. After fitting the rifle and scope to you you should not get "scoped". What usually causes everyone to get scoped is either not holding the gun firmly or crawling up on the rifle while shooting prone. Start with lite loads to get comfortable with shooting a magnum. Be careful of getting a flinch from your fear of getting scoped. If the rifle has too much recoil for you then consider adding a brake to it. Those model Rugers are generally good shooters. [/QUOTE]
