Most Ruger NEED NEED NEED trigger work. You can't shoot a rifle well if it has a crumby trigger. To me NOTHING effects accurate shooting more than the trigger pull. I have had about ten Ruger rifles. As I recall only one had a decent tigger from the box. Ruger Varmit rifles come with adjustable triggers the rest need to be smoothed up and stoned to perfection. 40-60 dollars will usually do the job. I like Ruger rifles but will usually buy Remington because I can adjust the triggers myself. Better yet The Savage accu-trigger is beyond belief. (GOOD)
