Years ago (1983) I picked up a used .243 M77 in a local pawn shop. When I removed the stock for a good cleaning session, I saw "Sept 1968" stamped into the barrel channel. All I did to that stock was free float the barrel and it shot lights out for me with my hand loads and would hold a 1" group out to 200 yards. I've owned a few more Rugers over the years and all those were dismal disappointments for accuracy. I sold all the Rugers I had and have never bought another. Give me a Savage any day!
