[QUOTE="Tnwhip, post: 832766, member: 32195"] I bought my old 25-06 Ruger in 1978. I wanted a long range varmint and deer rifle to replace my Rem. 788 in 308. I got into reloading at the same time. I worked on the trigger and bedded the stock and floated the barrel. It would shoot Hornandy 75g hp and 100g sp around 1/2 to 3/4". After all these years the barrel finally gave up the accuracy. Two years ago I had my gunsmith buddy install a #7 Douglas barrel in 280 Ackley, I assumed he trued the action. I put it in a Boyds laminated stock. I had a little trouble working up loads for it and the barrel was copper fouling really bad. I lapped it and worked up a load with H1000 and she is a 1/2" gun again. My old gunsmith buddy loved Mausers and he said he liked the Rugers better than Remington. He passed away right after I got my barreled action back from him. He was a great friend and I learned a lot from him over the years. I miss him alot. He would be happy I got it to shooting good and I shot my longest shot on a deer at 573 yards across the bean field last year with it. I also have a Bicentential Ruger in 220 swift that my cousin bought back in 1976. I have heard Ruger use to put Douglas barrels on there rifles back then? We use to shoot crows with it across the bean fields. I bedded and floated the barrel on it. I have not shot it in several years but the last time I shot it for group it was still shooting 2" at 200 yards. Now I have acquired two Rem. 700 SPS Varmints, one in 22-250 and 308.
