Thread: What is the rifle that has surprised you the most

another culling mate tried a ruger semi .223 Ruger mini matic looked the business big mag light seemed well made - but one of the most inaccurate rifles I have had anything to do with - it was shite - real pity as the concept as a goat culling rifle was great

Some legends have it old Bill Ruger did some cost cutting on the barrels.
Aggressive machining techniques to speed up the profiling process and supposedly had a big chance of inducing accuracy killing harmonics in them.
An acquaintance from years ago culled in the north island in thr late 70s.
One if his mates got a mini 14 and had it rebarrelled in 222 as he was supplied the ammo. Bloody tack driver
