there isn't a decent factory trigger out there. since you seem already understand that, you might as well go with the ruger. their form, fit, and function can't be beat.

you are going to LOVE shooting that .17

Thanks for all the posts. I was over to Cabelas this weekend. I checked out the Ruger. Nice rifle, I like it better then the Savage and Marlin. I like that it's a laminate but the shape really didn't impress me. I like a beefy stock. Most likely I'll have a woodworker friend build a wider stock for me. I also plan on having the trigger worked on. After that it should be a sweet gun. If only I had an extra $1,000 laying around I'd get the Cooper I have my heart set on.

A cop friend of mine bought one from marlin,and i didn,t think m;uch of it till we took it out. Surprise,surprise, we were shooting ground squirells at 200 yds plus and it was a great accurate little killer. neat little gun if one has a good place to shoot it. vangunsmith
