Had a M77 7 mm Rem. Mag, and it shot fine. Sold it because it had
bad karma.

The problem, as I read it was that Ruger subcontracted out some of
the drilling, and it was slightly off on some rifles. So bad in
some that a full refund was given on switching to another gun.

On many 77s the faces of the actions were not trued up before the
barrel went on, and as they heated..they went all over the place.

Ive had at least 2 that were "shotguns" and had face the actions,
reinstall the barrel and reset the head space, before they would shoot
worth a damn.

77V in 308...best 5 shot group was 2". This for a heavy barreled
varminter. After truing, .5"

Thats just simply not excusable for a factory weapon.

I musta got a good one . Got this from my son when he had hard times .
Only time we took it to the range he shot a sub-1" group with 140 gr
ballistic tip rounds . My five shots we covered with a nickel . Not that bad
for an untuned rifle and factory ammo .
