I have never had a bad Ruger 77 mkll varmit target rifle.

Very nice. I wasn't fortunate enough to get my Ruger to shoot anywhere near that good with any powder/bullet combo I tried so gave up and sold the rifle. The Mannlicher stock International never has been known for accuracy but at the time I got it, I wasn't aware of that. It shot adequate, (I guess), for hunting but it never impressed me and never matched the accuracy of my older Ruger 77 made back in the late 60's.
