Factory triggers are far from being reasonably good and accuracy, as stated earlier is hit or miss. For the price they could do a lot better.
MOA means, to me, the gun will reliably shoot 1.042 inch CTC 5 round groups with no flyers or 'called' shots, every single time, rain or shine. Just because you once put 3 rounds into an inch doesn't make it a 1 MOA rifle.

They are a superb hunting rifle.
Controlled round feed is nice
The triggers suck out of the box but once fixed by a gunsmith ($30) they can be excellent
The synthetic stocks are amongst the best in that price range
I've never yet come across one that wouldn't group less than 1MOA, which is plenty accurate enough for hunting
3 position safety is nice
The stainless ones DON'T RUST unlike almost every other stainless rifle around
The factory rings are very very solid.
You're never going to have a stuck case with that huge claw extractor.
And they look like a rifle should look.
I personally am a big fan, having owned and used many rifles, from anschutz's to zastavas, the ruger m77 is one of my favourites
And I dont' think I'm alone making the argument that Tikka's are the epitomy of manufacturing shortcuts.
Bill Ruger is dead. In his current state, he's not in a position to impose much influence upon the company that bears his name. It makes little sense to punish them for the acts of a man now dead-n-gone.ruger lost any support from me when bill ruger went on his soapbox about selling hi cap mags to "civilians" because "we" dont "need" them and no "sportsman should"
I ruled out M77's when the Syth stock models had the Ruger logo molded into the stock. If they want me to advertise for them, they can pay me a fee!
