Ruger M77 MkII Questions
Just a couple of questions about Ruger MkII
1. Can you close the bolt on a chambered round? I know it's controlled feed, but can it be loaded like a single shot? 2. I've been considering getting an All-Weather Ruger M77 MkII in 308...I've searched the forums and have found mixed reviews...any new (unbiased) info? Thanks guys...and gals!

If I remember correctly it is hard on the extractor.
Anyhow why not just put the round in the mag and feed it in? I had this very rifle and it shot 1" groups with factory ammo!

I just wanted to move on to something different! At the time reloading seemed a purposeful and exciting move. I traded the .308 and a .338 that I had for a .300 Win Mag and all the reloading equipment. In hindsight it was a so-so move, on one hand I learned the ins and outs of reloading and on the other hand I traded 2 very good/accurate rifles.............live and learn!!!

I have one in 270, and now it is a very accurate rifle. First to go was the terrible trigger-replaced it with a Timney and my groups improved greatly. IMO, the Timney is a must with a Mk II Ruger, unfortunate, as the triggers in the tang safety models were great bone stock. The factory stock is not very comfortable for me, so I switched to a B&C stock, which helped accuracy. Again, the old tang safety models are much more comfortable than the new guns. I would get rid of it since it is not as comfortable as some, but can't bring myself to because it is so accurate with my favorite 270 loads.

I don't hear much about rugers compared to savage and remington, how are they?
I have always liked the look and feel of them.

rahtreelimbs: My guess is Mathman wants to maximize his magazine capacity by filling it to capacity and then chambering a round (separate from the rounds in the mag.).
