I really like that straight recoil design. I have a couple of rifles that I built on Howa 1500 stainless actions back during grad school when cash was tight. I never took them varmint in but I have some 0.5 MOA 5 shot target groups stuffed order the foam in the case.

The problem is what do I do when my new Ruger can't keep up with the Howa?

I am a die hard Ruger fan but I am still upset about that stainless 77/22 Mag that is sitting in the closet. I could never get a decent group out of that - even though I really love that rifle.
