[QUOTE="gunners, post: 916889, member: 77186"] I've got 2 Ruger 77 hawkeyes for what ever reason they seem to be a bit picky with ammo. But if you can find the right load they shoot very good. Both rifles are completely stock. The 7mm Rem Mag likes 150gr Winchester super supremes and it shoots those right on MOA for 3 shots. My hand loads run around 0.7 inch@ 100meters (109 yards). When I first got that rifle it was shooting 2-4 inches at 100 meters, I thought I'd bought a lemon and was up for a bedding job but all I had to do was tighten the front action screw a fraction ( like 1/8-1/4 of a turn) I'm so happy with my 7mm I bought a 338 WM in the same model and with my limited testing to date it appears to like ONLY 200 gr Hornady Superformance groups range from .5- 1 MOA my hand loads don't get anywhere near it. But I've got a whole heap more components to do some more testing. I would like to buy a midrange caliber like the 6.5x55 or a 243 and Ruger would still be in the running [/QUOTE]
