my dad has a ruger M77 220swift and it the most durable gun he has. he throws it around in the farm truck all the time, but is always on target. ive seen him drop a running coyote at 500 yards with it, which is amazing! hes had it for 15 years and has only had to sight the scope in once, when he first got it. everytime hes shot at a target its been dead on, even very accurate to 600 yards. this is definately a good rifle
