Why no love for Ruger?

Ruger accuracy

14 shots, 14 different powder charges

My 375 RUger does MOA easy, too.:D

for those saying he missed the bullseye everytime, with that accuracy my guess is he set his scope a bit higher to get a bullseye to aim for... having a bullet hole actually higher he didn't lose dead center of the bullseye
rugers are beasts.

I have a Ruger MII Hawkeye Alweather in a 25-06. Love it. Accurate as all get out. I want one in 30-06. The new ones have a very nice trigger and the safety is not that bad. The Mouser ejection is nice as well. Very solid gun.

Or it could be the far more logical explanation, that his gun is sighted in ~2" high at 100 yards, so that at ~200 yards he is dead on, and about 8" low at 300 yards, thus reducing the need to hold over at anything up to this range, and reducing the holdover needed at longer ranges. This is how hunting rifles are normally sighted in.
 
Y'all missed the third explanation ...... There are those of us that know this is how rifles are sighted in , and were just teasing him for the H*ll of it ;)

There are those of us who were fully aware of what was going on, while some others were clueless.

I was simply trying to help our inexperienced and unaware board member understand, without making him look like too big of an idiot for his theory.

And of course I was just giving you the gears for the same reason as afore mentioned :D:p

Gatehouse, that target proves what I have said on here so many times. In a properly bedded and tuned rifle, all normal ammunition shoots well. As I have said before, I was once building up a load with 180 grain bullets in my old Husqvarna. I shot five rounds, each one 1 grain heavier than the one before it. Thus, the first shot was four grains lighter than the last one, which by the way was too heavy. When I checked my target they all went into a 1¼ inch group.
I am so tired of hearing people say their rifle "likes" 54.3 grains of something, but with 55 grains it goes all over the map.
Everytime I say this I get rained on, heavily!
But, just think of the militaries all over the world and their world class target shooting. As an example, the US had top rifle teams. Each marksman was handed a well tuned Springfield 30-06 and all were given the same target ammunition.
Now, if what I have read on here so many times was true, that each rifle is different, and has to have the ammo adjusted for it, what kind of a schmauzzle would the military marksmen be in?
Instead, if any shooters rifle failed to meet standards, it would go back to the armourer for tuning.
The same thing applies to our own civilian, military type target shooting. Those who were competing for the govenor generals cup, which allowed the winner to represent Canada in the matches at Bisley, England, were all using a Lee Enfield 303. They all used the same ammunition. If some shooters rifle wasn't performing as it should, would he demand different ammunition? Hardly, he would just have his rifle's bedding tuned.
 
I only have had one Ruger rifle, an all weather M77 Mark II in 223 and I don't regret buying it. It shoots the lighter bullets (45gr) very accurately and the trigger only needed a bit of work to make it the way I like it. I think its a great looking sporting rifle.
