I have a Ruger 77 Mk II all-weather SS in .300 Win Mag I bought new almost 20 years ago. Right out of the box I could feed it anything and it would shoot 1/2" groups at 100 yards all day long. I could change bullet weights and it would still group in the same hole. It STILL shoots that good and has been the best rifle I've had the pleasure of owning. And bad triggers? The trigger pull is stiff (five pounds) but it's crisp and no travel and as good as any I've used. You can't shoot 1/2" groups with a bad trigger. If you shoot bench rest and have pulled all the high dollar triggers maybe you wouldn't like it but if you just hunt it's all you need. Did I mention when I bought it I put on a Nikon Monarch 3-9 X 40 scope and in those 20 years never once had to change the scope settings. That says alot about Rugers rings and mounting system (and of course Nikon scopes).
