[Scorch]

Rugers are notorious for long throats. That is one of the ways Ruger tried to keep handloaders from blowing up their rifles. Unfortunately it also gave Rugers a terrible reputation for poor accuracy, probably one of the biggest hurdles a rifle maker has to overcome. People used to come to us begging us to fix their rifles becasue they didn't shoot worth a damn. Ease peasy, just set the barrel back two turns, rechamber, out the door. Happy customer. Winchester, Savage and Remingtons always marketed their rifles on accuracy, so their chambers are tight with short leades in the throat.
