[QUOTE="C1PNR, post: 788606, member: 1370"] Back in the late 70's I bought a NIB Ruger 77 in 257 Roberts that was "Made in the 200th year of American Liberty" that refuses to shoot well at all. "Well" being under 2" @ 100 yards with any size bullet of any make or style. 3 Smiths have worked on it over the years and one of them told me if I wanted it to shoot any better, I'd have to rebarrel. But I hate to give up, so I'll probably put a few more $$ into it, maybe true up the action/barrel interface. Lord knows I've put enough into the stock by now. I also bought, used, one of the 7X57's, made back in the 70's I think. I haven't started to wring it out yet, I guess I'm scared it'll shoot like the Roberts. Then there's the 7mm Mag in stainless and composite stock that I won at a RMEF raffle that shoots into > 1" with a load put together by an old friend for his rifle. I guess it's just the "luck of the draw" when it comes to the Ruger 77's. By the same token, I also have a 6.5 x 55mm in a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight that was apparently assembled by monkeys it was so bad. A heck of a lot of work by a good Smith turned it into a real shooter, no thanks to Winchester! [/QUOTE]
