I have owned 3 rugers a .257 roberts, 30-06, and a 300 win mag in the M77. All shoot really great and all of them are still with me. I own 3 rem 700 and one winchester model 70. Never had a problem with accuracy out of any of them. The model 70 in .270 win shot 2 inch groups when I bought it. Had it glass bedded and groups dropped down to under an inch. Personally I think you can get good and bad out of all types
