Welcome to the forum LeftyBuckmaster, I don't have one of the Ruger M-77's MKII in 25-06.I have one of the old tang safety M-77V's in 25-06. It's unfired.I have some of the MKII's in other calibers.They all shoot well the ones I have shot.Some have never been taken out.My one in 7mm RM was disappointing when I fired the Federal Premium Ballistic Tips.3.5"-4" groups. I tried Remington CoreLokts and the group shrunk to a little over an inch.You might have to fire a few different brands until you find one it likes. If you handload you should be able to work up a extremely accurate load.You have your eyes set on a fine rifle.

Ruger Redhawk
