Well, must be easy to please. Ruger, and I have shot a few, has delivered on any hunting requirements requested of it (what they were built for) from elk, to ground squirrels. Purple haze out to the 300-400 yard mark. I just have not found a need nor a place that I can see the critters any further, and if they are, I go to them.
Now I have bolted on some goodies, like Timney triggers and for 77/22's valquartsen barrels, for indoor silhouette. And all center fires, I roll my own, which has always improved performance of these rifles I will admit.
I will say that I never had anyone with me who shot Remington, Savage, or what ever, embarrass me.
I guess this just confirms, choice is what makes the world go round.
