What type of Rugers?
Neither ATR, or Leeper defined which type of Rugers are under consideration.
I assumed ATR was talking about Ruger#1's, then according to my experience and many other's ATR is right as they don't respond as well to "free floating, or reducing barrel pressure.
I would expect a one piece stocked bolt action Ruger would repond as well as any other quality bolt action rifle to barrel floating and proper bedding, maybe these are the ones Leeper is referring to.

Leeper said:Interesting comments re. the Rugers. I have never seen one which did not respond well to bedding the action and floating the barrel and I know I've bedded and tested scores of them.
They frequently will not shoot well if the forend pressure is removed and the action is not glass bedded simply because the action is often quite a poor fit in the stock. Regards, Bill
