Ruger hammer forged barrel

[Shelly]

Does anyone know how the Ruger hammer forge barrels compare to aftermarket barrels(Green Mountain, Clerke, Clark etc)with respect to accuracy.

Thanks

Unfavorably.

GM has well documented QC problems.
Clark, VQ, KID are all wonderful; I've NOT (edited-since the stroke I sometimes I leave important little words like "not") tried the superpremiums like Shilen or Lijla.
My Ruger T is pretty good; findings the right load in any .22 is important. Mine shoots reliable under .400" @50yd with $4.50 ammo.

I would love buy a "T" "bad" barrel cheap.
Send that puppy to Cameron Dearborn for a rechamber, crown, lap.

Not a good comparison at all...

My target .308 and .22-250's were both tackdrivers with handloads. IMHO, the M77MKII Target models are the Cadillacs of factory rifles. A tad pricey and not as common as the others, I liked mine.

I currently own 3 M77 MKI's, a pair of sporters, .280 Rem and .30-'06, and a varmint weight .280 Rem. They please me.
