Like anything made nowadays, it depends. When Rugers shoot well, they go like gangbusters. But when they don't shoot worth a Klinton 3 dollar bill, you have to tweak it numerous ways. On the AR Forum, there had been a big shitstorm over Rugers just because they have cast receivers and are not esthetically pleasing to the eye as some of the other makes. Personally, I love them as I've only had to tweak them only a few times to maked shoot accurately. There are boltaction purists who can't stand a gun that doesn't have solid forged receiver, but who actually forges their receivers nowadays except some high-dollar machine shops. Bill Ruger made rifles and handguns for the regular working stiff and I think he had done a great job with his genius and drive. The dude will be missed for a long time to come. The heirs seem to feel that they don't have to listen to anybody concerning their products.
