I bet your new 77 shoots just fine. I have had two of these in the past, an older MKI in 243 and a MKII in 30-06. The 243 would shoot 1" groups with every ammo I tried and the 30-06 would shoot between 1-1 3/4" groups depending on the ammo. I stupidly sold both.

I just bought another 77MKII of GB and haven't shot it yet. I have only had it a week now. It did have the famous "Ruger Squeak" at the end of the barrel channel where the wood pad is that supports the barrel. I sanded that out and sealed the wood. That was all it took to free float the barrel.

The gunwriter John Barsness made the point that with the angled action screw on rugers that glass bedding wasn't needed. So we'll see. Hopefully I will get time to test fire it next week. If it will stay around an inch and a half at 100 yards thats good enough for what I want it for. Then its time to hunt.
