Has anyone accurized a Ruger Magnum? What did you do? Did it work? I have a Timney Trigger, Pachmayer Pad, White front bead, and Warne QD Rings otherwise it is stock. I have not really spent any time working on groups. With the 1.5X5 scope I do not seem to be able to get the greatest groups at 100 yds. Maybe 2-3" at best. I was thinking of trying a higher powered scope and maybe some handloads. Any comments for people with the same gun would be appreciated. Thanks | ||

I have a Model 77 MKI that will shoot 3 shots from a 338 mag into 5/8" - but I do plan to glass bed the action myself - just because I like the idea of tightening down the action without compressing wood which will give up some of the tension. A Ruger 77 fan at another site http://stevespages.com/table1.html always free floats the barrel - swears this is the answer to all problems in a 77. By the way anyone who hasn't visited this site take a look - I love his writing and stories about his history with a godzillion different calibers and recommended load data. I just glass bedded and free floated the barrel of a custom used 270 I just bought - down from 2-3" to 3/4". Good Luck Somehow I sort of feel if you have a glass bedded action and a free floated barrel you won't see much change in the point of impact due to weather. Anyone else experienced this? | |||

2" groups with factory ammo are well within rifle performance standards!! Try handloads!! I have No. 1 .375 H&H which shoots one of my handloads very well (1.5" @ 180 yards), but several others are terrible! In the .375, loads can make a big difference!! | ||
