[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 226591, member: 2693"] Ruger actions do not have a reputation for being "accurate." However, they are excellent in the sturdy department. My first rifle was a Ruger in 270. I traded it in when Ruger first came out with the left handed Mark IIs. I kept the same caliber. I've had that rifle for 20 years now. In 2003 I had a #1 Hart SS installed on it. The smith said the action was not out by much so it didn't take much truing. I must confess that in the first 50-75 shots, I was not impressed with the famed "handlapped" bbl as fouling was quite remarkable, regardless of proper break-in procedure. However, it didn't take long to get the 130 TSX to print groups that most strive for when using Sierras. To date I'd say this rifle bullet combo has taken ~ 20 game animals. My latest load is the 110 TTSX/58.0 H4350, and this combo is going to TX with me the first week of October for hogs/antelope. I'm also taking the 270 AM. All I can say is that THIS rifle holds its own with any of my Remingtons or Sako rifles. [/QUOTE]
