You bring up Rugers and I have to say thats one trigger I don’t like. I’m a big fan of the old tang safety Model 77’s but I’ve yet to be able to adjust the trigger to my liking, theres always too much travel. The ones that are not safe queens all have Timney Triggers installed. Bed them, float them and put in a good trigger and they’ll shoot with any factory rifle. My old 22-250 has been riding the ranch for many years. All my #1’s and #3’s still have factory triggers.
Sound observations. The 1’s and 3’s can be a pleasure.
