[QUOTE="mtwarych, post: 1789972, member: 70595"] I have a Ruger Hawkeye that was giving me fits, so much so that I basically gave up on it. It was apparent that the original walnut stock had warped and I purchased a new Boyds stock to fix the rifles suddenly poor accuracy. I did the same bedding job and trigger work as is in this thread. The rifle still shot poorly no matter what I tried. The rifle from the factory would shoot right about MOA with commercial ammo and sub MOA with reloads. I even tried rebuilding the front of the stock to once again put pressure on the barrel. Nothing worked. A while back a forum member started a thread about how he refinished his stock on his M77 and the rifle was no longer accurate. In that thread everyone was supplying good advice as what to check and look for. A couple of the posts in that thread were advising that the Ruger M77 were touchy when it came to the mounting screws and how tight they were. I decided to buy a torque driver and give it a try and believe it or not, my Ruger Hawkeye chambered in 257 Roberts is once again shooting sub MOA. I suggest finding that thread and maybe read it over and see if there are some nuggets of wisdom in there that may help you out. [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/refinished-my-stock-now-rifle-wont-shoot-right.224687/[/URL] As a matter of fact, my lug needed 65inchlbs of torque, my trigger guard is just touch tight with thread locker and my rear screw is at 45 inchlbs torque. The proper torque made all the difference with my rifle. [/QUOTE]
