The problem IMO with these actions for the 7mm rem mag is the length is not good for seating the projectile out enough to get the most out of the round Usually I have found that with ruger's you would bed action/ float barrel, lighten trigger, maybe lap lugs, and work up a load for very good accuracy The actions are investment cast and are plenty strong enough It sounds to me like bad barrel or crown, the barrel may not have been fitted correctly This rifle is my 'Old Reliable' and we have some history, so I would like to fix her up.Marksman wrote:what was it like before mods
I have zero experience with lapping or truing actions and lugs. The opposite lug which is covered by the extractor makes great contact, approximately 80-90%.Īny suggestions? I have spoken with a couple of gunsmiths, but none are interested in working on a Ruger. I colored the back side of the lugs with a sharpie, put an empty case in the chamber, and cycled the bolt several times. I am considering bedding and stabilizing her, but not until I am comfortable with what I found when I checked the bolt lock-up. The plastic stock stinks and is probably a significant contributor to problem. Torquing those crappy little slotted screws in the stock helped somewhat. I tuned the trigger to 2.75 lbs with no creep. I decided to revisit the large shot groups while I had some time on my hands. I pulled her out from the back of the safe recently. She dropped everything dead in its tracks. Most shots were 100-200 yards, so the grouping never screwed me. She was purchased to stalk deer and hogs in a highly wooded area that did have a few long fairways where the deer frequented in early morning. She always shot rather large, 2"-3" groups at 100yd. It was the first high powered rifle that I had purchased on my own so we have a bit of bond. I have a '93 M77 MK II 7mm Rem Mag All Weather Stainless Steel with a 3x9x36mm Redfield LowPro Widefield scope.
