Thanks to all you TFL'rs who turned me on to the Ruger M77 in 7x57mm and the Leopold 3-9x40!!! Took it to the NRA range last night, and even though it was only at 50 yards, the session was great. Set the scope on 4x. First round was 3 inches high. Made the click adjustments and the next 3 rounds went into one hole less than a half inch in diameter, just north and west of the bull. This group was shot with two 140 grain Federal factory loads and the Federal 175 grain factory load. All three holes were touching. Recoil was moderate to say the least. And guys, I am not an accomplished rifle shooter. This was my first outing with a scoped bolt action rifle. HOOAHH!!!!!
