I have a friend that bought a .223 mini stainless.....his shoots great groups....under 1.5 at 100 yards.....fabulous.....but go back and read all the testamonials about the " pie plate" groups.

If you' ve read a lot of Ruger bashing it' s just possible that it' s earned. It' s just possible that it' s not Remington fans.....as a mnatter of fact, I' m a Winchester fan....

When I smack Ruger it' s for just cause.....as is the case with Savage, EMF, Weatherby,....

Just for clarification I must say that I' ve bought no guns from any of these companies for many years.....at least 6 years.....but I doubt that a company changes that fast. I know what a company smells like when the top management has no back bone for quality. Accuracy don' t equal quality.......it must be accompanied with feeding, extraction, ejection, adjustable trigger, a safety that is positive.....in other words ...it must also work well and frequent.

If you buy a .22 semi auto and it' s fabulously accurate but will not fire five consecutive shells without a jam, is that a quality rifle??????ask Weatherby how many rifles they sold that way!!!!
