I have now been reloading for about 6 months, and have had some good results. My ruger M77MkII VT rifle in 22-250 will consistently groups my handloads less than 1" at 100 with my best being about .4". I have not had this gun worked on at all, but would like to have the action bedded and trigger work done. Any thoughts on whether this will be worth it?

You're there!!! roger

If your Ruger is like mine, it could use a trigger massage. I did mine, definitely helped take some weight and creepiness out of it.

i've never found a rifle that didn't respond well to bedding. a bettter trigger is always welcome, that doesn't mean to rush out and spend 2-300 on bedding & trigger work, you can easily bed it yourself, and ruger triggers are one of the easiest to smooth and lighten up

In the words of an unknown but very wise man:
IT AINT BROKE SO DON"T FIX IT!

That target trigger Ruger puts on the 77M11VT is pretty good as it comes, both I've shot were under 3 pounds and smooth, a good bedding job can't hurt and may keep it shooting good for years to come.

If it's shooting that well, I wouldn't touch the bedding. Depending on the trigger, it's worth some time to get it clean breaking about 3#. You'll probably be able to tweek your loads to stay consitantly in the 1/2moa.

Consistant 1" with occassional .5" from a factory rifle? And you want to mess with it? Go lay down and put a cold rag on your head. You'll get over it atter while. I have a 22-250 that shoots like that and I win quite a few factory matches with it.
Spend the $200 on strong drink and weak women and practice, practice, practice. Improve your reloading and bench techniques to where you're consistant at the .5.

my second 10 rounds i ever loaded of 30-06 did .68 for the first 4 and the fith opened up to .95.
STOP

The Ruger bedding system uses as angled forward action screw that provides a tensioned fit. It generally doesn't need any improvement. If the gun were shooting poorly, it would be a place to put a smear of epoxy. Any improvement will probably be found elsewhere.

model7LSS, may I ask how many shots in each group? Are all group centres in the same place?

"We shall never achieve harmony with land, .... " Never mind that. It sounds like you have harmony with your rifle!

With my Ruger Model 77 MkII rifles, I do three basic things to get very good accuracy.
I do a trigger job.
I polish the bore of the barrel as it is not lapped by the barrel maker.
I remove the forend pressure on the barrel to free float it.
Groups in all of rifles worked this way shoot 1/2", or better, for three shots at 100 yards.
