bri2506 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Can anyone tell me if a ruger 77 should have a floating barrel. Just been doing some plinking with a friend who has a ruger 243 and its grouping is absolutely shocking. We ran some home loads that used to shoot respectable groups and some factory that all ways shoot well but now there all over the place. Like 2 inch plusI ve given it a good cleaning. I ve checked scope, crown, mod everything. Only thing is that the barrel runs tight for 2 inch in the stock but looks like it was factory fit like that. Can anyone shed any light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtb Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Have you tried it without the mod on Keith and how many rounds has it had through it if it shot well before I doubt if it is anything to do with the barrel fit in the stock Rgds mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeld Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Mine was the same with the factory stock, from memory it also had a pressure point towards the muzzle. I free floated it and it improved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akeld Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 It will probably benefit from a bit of bedding just to centralise the barrel in the channel, I found there was a bit of movement when standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feckless Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Unless you bed it then don't remove the pressure points up front, I did the same thing and shortly after did a full pillar bedding job, it transformed the rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 They won't shoot 100 GRN bullets at least mine wouldn't, what weights are you using. Try some 75 GRN or similar if you are using 100 GRN Should be floated if you are using it off a bipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
