[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1858193, member: 91783"] I just did an older Ruger M77 in 22-250 that was doing 2" groups at 100 yards . I think someone took a bunch of parts and put it together nothing really fit right . The floor plate wouldn't open or close , the action moved around and you could see rub marks on the side of the barrel , the mag box was bound in the stock . I got it for 200.00 . I bedded the action cleaned the barrel channel out freed up the mag box and shot it , it still didn't group well so I did what Ruger recommended and put a pad under the barrel about an inch back from the tip of the fore end of the stock . I didn't put any pressure on the barrel just bedded it bottom and sides using wax for the release agent . That got it down to .75 groups with factory Winchester white box 40 grn hp's . [/QUOTE]
