    The joys of personal preference. Bang for buck, the Ruger’s have their place. Swap firearms to cars and the same type of discussions are raised. My Ruger Ranch rifles are my first choice when bush...

    The Rugers were a $350 US rifle when they came out so you can't expect everything like a butter smooth bolt, but as far as accuracy goes they tend to be excellent. They seem to be making really good...
