RE: Ruger-- Savage rifles???????????????
Both of my Ruger 77 Mk IIs (.223 and 300 WSM) shoot .5 MOA. The only thing you will have to do is have a trigger job done. I know quite a few people whos Mk IIs shoot 1 MOA or better. They are a very good gun for the money, I would highly recommend them. My friend has a Mk II in .260 and it will put three shots under a nickel at 100 yards. I would go with the .260 for a beginers rifle, it has very little recoil and shoots very well. The 7-08 is a good choice too.
