I used to be a HUGE ruger fan, but the last two that i bought really didn't impress me any. An all-weather m77 in .270 and a 77/22 hornet, the hornet shot OK, but the .270 was a joke. Traded in the .270 on my cz and couldn't be happier, but everyone has their preferences.
Higg, was your dissatisfaction with the Ruger based on its accuracy? I dumped my M77 MkII .30-06 after three years of trying to get it to shoot straight. I still took game with it but it would not group consistently, even with bedding, trigger job and every imaginable handload. It would probably be ok to hunt with at or under 100 yards but these days I think we can expect better. Some Rugers shoot great, too bad mine didn't.
