I purchased the Ruger 77 in 17 HMR for my landowner that allows me to hunt there. He has a groundhog problem around his barn and he said he wanted to see how it shot, so I bought it for him as a thank you. This gun is incredible!!! It shoots .25" groups at 50 yards, with Hornady ammo. He has taken 5 hogs with it this year, shooting most in the eye/nose area with it. I wished Ida kept it for myself.
