Ruger's generally have below average accuracy. It ranges from " acceptable" to " absolutely terrible". I wouldn't buy a ruger expecting to get good accuracy. All I've ever owned have fallen into the "absolutely terrible" catagory.
This is a total crock! The Rugers are, on the average, no more nor less accurate than any other brand of production riofle in the same price range!! The ONLY rifles I have ever purchased that shot MOA right out of the box, with no fooling with at all, except to mount a scope, were Rugers. Both M77's (tang-safety type) No. 1's, and a No.3 in .30/40!
