I have a Ruger #1 in 7x57 Mauser and a M77 MK II stainless in 300 WSM and both of them shoot under 1" at 100 yards. My brother has a Ruger .22 Hornet that shoots under .5" at 100 yards and a friend of mine has a M77 MK II in .260 rem. and you can cover his 3 shot group with a nickel. Ruger is by far the best gun for the money, and their customer service is excellent. The foregrip on my #1 cracked and about 4 years later when I got around to sending it back to them they matched and fitted a new one and put a new set of sights on (I had taken the old ones off for a scope) and they replaced the falling block. I only had to pay for shipping to send it to them, they took care of the rest with out any problems. I highly recommend Ruger. I have 5 Ruger firearms and I am very happy with all of them.
