I have zero experience with lapping or truing actions and lugs. The opposite lug which is covered by the extractor makes great contact, approximately 80-90%.Īny suggestions? I have spoken with a couple of gunsmiths, but none are interested in working on a Ruger. I colored the back side of the lugs with a sharpie, put an empty case in the chamber, and cycled the bolt several times. I am considering bedding and stabilizing her, but not until I am comfortable with what I found when I checked the bolt lock-up. The plastic stock stinks and is probably a significant contributor to problem. Torquing those crappy little slotted screws in the stock helped somewhat. I tuned the trigger to 2.75 lbs with no creep. I decided to revisit the large shot groups while I had some time on my hands. I pulled her out from the back of the safe recently. She dropped everything dead in its tracks. Most shots were 100-200 yards, so the grouping never screwed me. She was purchased to stalk deer and hogs in a highly wooded area that did have a few long fairways where the deer frequented in early morning. She always shot rather large, 2"-3" groups at 100yd. It was the first high powered rifle that I had purchased on my own so we have a bit of bond. I have a '93 M77 MK II 7mm Rem Mag All Weather Stainless Steel with a 3x9x36mm Redfield LowPro Widefield scope. ![]()
