I have a 77-22 Ruger Hornet and contrary 2 what I here this one shoots about like most Hornets.I get 3/4 inch groups with 50 gr TNT. I want 2 have it rechambered to K-Hornet and I here that there is A FIX ALL concerning the space between bolt halves. Can any one help me on this. United we Stand. | ||

Ask Jack Belk about the Ruger 77, he has done a study on them and it does not rate them well...which seems to be backed up by the exceptionally large number of used ones I see for sale in the Gunlist every two weeks.... I have no real experience with them as I only had one and it quit shooting about the time I sold it to Jack, or so he reported to me, and I have no reason to disbelieve him. It shot about an inch for me but I didn't shoot but about 5 groups with it.... | |||

The above post only APPLIES to the 22 HORNET... | |||

MP/MD--- I emailed you the article I wrote in Varmint Hunter magazine (#22)....... I consider the Ruger 77/22H as unsuited for further work. Every one I've seen is too poorly made to waste time on and mis-designed from the get go. I've still never seen one that gives good results consistently. | ||

MorePowder: I have a 77/22H which has been substantially reworked and rebarreled to K-Hornet. It shoots like a house afire, but I'm sure that the previous owner spent a bundle to get it to that point. While I agree that the 77/22 could be better designed, I also suspect that rechambering (or better yet rebarreling) to K-hornet and making the headspace "squeaky" tight will improve the gun's performance. If the headspace is tight enough, there will be no need to shim the two halves to make them tighter -- you'll get the same effect from the tight headspace. You'll still have the trigger to deal with. By the way, if it's honestly shooting .75" groups at 100 yards, you already have an extremely accurate gun. [ 03-03-2003, 20:58: Message edited by: Stonecreek ] | |||

Just to join in on this and not to muddy the waters, I'd leave it as is. My VHZ groups .6 to .7 inch groups with the 33gr Vmax and 13.2 gr of Lil'gun or the 37gr Calhoon Dbl HP and 13gr Lil'gun. | ||
