Ditto. I had 2, the 2nd was the Ranch version so I could add a scope. The result was that I could more easily see the crappy accuracy. All pre-2005. Got an AR, and now I’m happy. I do wish that Ruger had done some honor to Garand’s action by having a decent barrel many years earlier, but that’s life.
When Bill Ruger came out in favor of mag limit, that poisoned me against the company. Lots of other ones out there.
Bill’s dead a long time now. S&W also made some bad decisions with clinton. Have both Ruger and S&W and wouldn’t trade ‘em.
