[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1042074, member: 12995"] I have 2 older 77 MKII's (7mm-08 and 7mm RemMag), and they are in the skeleton sythetic stocks. Neither are floated or bedded, and with handloads, I can get them to shoot 3 shots touching at 100 yards. Sometimes better if conditions are right. I have been debating on buying a couple of these, and having my gunsmith drill and tap the reciever, so I can use alot better rings than what you are normally stuck with on the Rugers, because you have to use their proprietary rings. [URL="http://www.egwguns.com/index.php?p=product&id=1356"]Ruger M-77 Long Action Picatinny Rail Mounts (MUST DRILL & TAP RECEIVER) 20 MOA: EGW Gun Parts[/URL] If you drill and tap for a picatinny rail, you can use ANY rings that are made to fit a pic rail, which means your options are pretty much endless. I also think it's a stronger and more precise way to mount a scope. All of my rifles, but 1, have EGW rails on them. The only reason the other doesn't, is because I have to save up to buy rings and a rail at the same time, because I don't have any spare 1" picatinny rings sitting around, so that could be a few weeks.
