Idk if you have a aftermarket barrel, however, if not, the .303 British rifles cast a wide net as far as bore diameter if it is a military barrel. I would suggest that you slug your barrel and take your measurements of groove diameter from the lead slug. all in all as a hunting rifle it's fine for shooting game just as it is, however, for better accuracy you have know what bullet diameter fits that barrel. Idk if you handload, however, handloading is the other side of accuracy when it comes to firearms. you can tailor make you ammunition to do what you need it to do, it is a viable resource used. anyway, I enjoyed the content, good luck and good shooting. peace Brother. - Dave

I thought about it and I also wanted to say, although most of the shooting community looks at the series of British military rifles as Ugly ducklings, once you know what you are looking at, the rifles they produced were very well thought out and well made. just the receivers have dozens of machine cuts that is craftmanship that you would pay a lot of money for these days. the ergonomics of the stocks with it's canted buttstock and pistol grip fits the shooter, not the other way around, the sights are excellent and precise, hashed not to reflect glare. Many match rifles have been built off of the Enfield's, I would say more testing, evaluation, research and development for both the evolution of the rifle and .303 cartage has been done, more than any other cartage/rifle in history. It is one of the Great firearm and cartage's experimented with. And as far as a game stopper, the .303 cartage, it has been used for more hunting applications and has dropped more animals than any other round world wide. thousands upon thousands of Enfield rifles were sold as surplus just in Canada and the United States and successful hunting (One shot stops) on all North American game is a trophy it has won. As you can tell, I'm a big Fan of the .303. Peace - Dave

These Rugers are light rugged accurate rifles. How is the Picatinny rail mounted? Is the action drilled and tapped on the top of the receiver bridge? I ask because as far as I’m aware Rugers don’t have screw holes on top of their actions. They are designed to use with Ruger proprietary ring mounts. Cheers 🍻 🍻
@MisterBrewer 24 күн бұрын
Great question! I can tell you that there are four screws on top of the pic rail attaching it to the top of the action, so it was drilled and tapped for that at the factory. And it also has some type of round wedge type things for the round recesses where the ruger rings normally go.

Hey, it is what it is. I have two LEs, an issue 1943 Maltby No4 Mk1 and a sporterized 1944 Long Branch No4 Mk1*. They usually need to be bedded. Lots of KZfaq videos on the topic. Not difficult or pricey....essentially I used a small sliver of thin cardbord and boiled linseed oil. Accuracy went from 10" at 50 yds to 4" at 100 yds. from a bench. Not bad for 71 y.o. eyes. BTW, the Lee Loader is slow, but will do the job for you. Started with one back in 1972!

Another note on Barnes bullets and maybe other monolithics. Ron Spomer found that you must throughly clean your barrel before shooting Barnes bullets, for some reason they don't like the gilding metal left behind by other bullets. He recommends cleaning the barrel and then only shooting Barnes bullets in it if they shoot well.
@MisterBrewer Ай бұрын
Yes, thank you. I need to do some more experimenting with a super clean bore. I did get some pretty good results from the barnes on a later test.

I have 2 ruger M77s and an American. The 77s are not free floated from the factory and they have a pretty hard trigger pull. You can put a lighter spring in the trigger and get it down to around 2 pounds and you can put shims under the angled recoil lug to get clearance on the barrel to see if it makes a difference. I cut shims out of a pop can on mine and it worked so well I left them in. I think I put 2 layers in each and they are still there 10 years later. It brought my M 77s down to or just under MOA. I also added Limbsaver donuts to all my rifles about 3 years ago and I regularly get 3/4 MOA or better out of all modern rifles. My M 77s are in .243 and .308. The American is 7mm08. I hope this helps, the only other thing you can do is reload. Then you can tune a load specifically to your rifle.

A Hawkeye can be made as smooth as a Tikka with a little polishing of the action. Wrap a popsickle stick with 400 grt sand paper. Remove the bolt and go to work. Finish off with fine grit. I used 2000 grit and some and some Mothers mag polish. Do the bolt with the mag. polish also. Polish the mag. follower also. No need to over do it just remove the burrs and casting inperfections. Will be as smooth as a Tikka only with controled feed and Made in the U.S.A. Ruger M77s are accurate and will go bang when it is cold outside.

awesome video, love this rifle in 308, almost got one, may have to one day, I did get a sako 90 peak also 20" and love it, I group tested a bunch of ammo with mine, 8 different kinds, it hated the 150/165 fusion but LOVED the 180 fusion (.6" ctc for 3) and it also loved the hornady white box 168 eld-m match for .6" ctc 3 shot also, it did not like the 178 eld-x, none of the cx copper options, it was okay with federal blue box 150, and I think I'm forgetting....point is, try the 180 fusion if you want it to like fusion, I was hoping mine would like the eld-m and at least one of the fusions and it got what I wanted, my sako was 5 lb 10 oz out of the box though, it's light, went 1-6 trijicon accupoint which is heavy and arc m-10 low rings...also heavy and still ended up 7 lb 3.5 oz all up for my light general purpose 308

Why do you have your camera in mirror image at the start? Everything is reversed as you are showing off the backwards scope mount, bolt and safety backwards.... At least when you got to the shooting area the image returned to normal. I'd try to zero at 100 yards. You have simple options to either "shim" the scope rail or "Mill" scope rail and scope base true flat or even mill the rail slightly to give an angle. See a machinist or good gunsmith.

These retaining wires can be hard to remove, so use as much muscle as you need to get it out. You won't be reusing it anyway. I removed mine with a combination of hammer, steel punch and molegrips. The gun itself needs to be held securely during this removal process.

Hello, I live in Oregon, so it was a fairly inexpensive two day hunt for me. My total cost was under $350. I spent one night camping and one night in a hotel because it started pouring rain. Resident hunting license and elk tak was $84, cheap hotel was about $105, gas was probably $80 including traveling from home to hunting area. Maybe $50 on food and stuff. I am not counting the cost of rifle, ammo and other hunting and camping gear of course. I hope you are able to do your OTC hunt with your sons and you have success!

@JustStartingOut-nt8ve 3 ай бұрын
Maybe not so much with 357 and 6" barrel, but I'm not surprised if it was painful to shoot with the way you grip the revolver because you are gripping the gun so LOW. Also, it looks like your thumb joint might be in line with the path of recoil. So, perhaps the backstrap might be hitting your thumb joint with the recoil. If so, it's probably pretty painful. I don't know if this is the case or not, but regardless, take a look at where Jerry Miculek places the web of his hand when he grips. Hickok45 is another good example. They grip much higher such that the hammer spur almost touches the web of the hand in double action. When you hold the gun like they do, the recoil should come back to a meaty part of your hand (it's almost like the palm of your hand). I think this should make the shooting experience much more comfortable.

I have a Ruger M 77 rifle that is inconsistent also. It’s a hunting rifle so it’s the first cold bore shot that counts. Did you check to see which one of the shots was the first one out of the cold bore? My experience tells me that the first shot is the outlier of the three shot group. That’s the one you need to adjust the scope to. Take a single shot then wait 15 or more minutes between shots. Let the barrel cool down to ambient air temp if possible.

Love the ruger m77. Have it in several calibers. I don't drop down in low grains. They seem to not group as well. Also I prefer a flat base bullet which is like the norma tipstrike. But to help tighten your groups up significantly, have your rifle stock bedded!!! Also it may help to lighten the trigger pull if its still factory!!! I like around 3lbs trigger pull. But if you have the stock bedded and the trigger pull reduced you will see much better results!!! Infact, you will shoot all those same ammunition better. But I would come up in grain with the barnes. However, the barnes is a bolt tail. Not my first choice. But my ruger 30-06 does shoot it exceptionally well. And maybe your ruger will do the same. I've just always had better results in all my other ones with flat base bullets.
