Full disclosure I had been telling my brother to just get a Ruger he wanted a 6.5. He got the Gen 2 Precision. Nice little Vortex scope on it. He doesn't shoot near as much and never really long range at all, so he wanted me to see about the scope I think really more than anything. We sighted it in late Sunday I took a box of Hornady factory ammo. 5 shots to get it zeroed.
1st 5 shot group 1/2 MOA @ 100
2nd 5 shot group 1/2 MOA @ 200
3rd 5 shot group we'll call it 3/4 MOA @ 400. Wait, what? I pulled one really bad apparently.
You know, I don't really know what to say about that. I'm not a Creedmoor fan really. But good gracious, he paid something barely over $1k for the gun, probably just over $2k for the whole thing with tax and Vortex scope. The scope tracked great BTW.
I've had rifles that cost 2x that which would not shoot that good.

I've never seen a ruger of any mode be very accurate.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

I've got mixed reviews. I've had a couple older tang safety guns that I never could get them to shoot to my liking.
But the newer ones have pretty much all been flawless. A Hawkeye from CDNN sub-$500 in the current market is the deal of the century in my eyes.
You can take it to the bank... the Precision WILL shoot.

I've never seen a ruger of any mode be very accurate. I've heard that from others in the past. I personaly have never seen one that wasn't. I have a personal friend that won the an International Police Sniper competition shooting a box stock Ruger M77 .243 Gave my son my old M77 MKII stainless 300 mag, he purchased a boyds thumbhole stock, and i had it bedded and a nice target crown put on the gun. Took it to a buddy's place to shoot, and that ole girl shot 3/4" groups (using hornady custom 150 btsp) that's the best groupings i've ever gotten out of a magnum caliber! I was very surprised...
How many people am i willing to sacrifice for freedom?
Everyone. All of them...
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

I have a personal friend that won the an International Police Sniper competition shooting a box stock Ruger M77 .243 I'm my experience they can be just as accurate as any other rifle but the are EXTREMELY PICKY about loads. Took me all summer to get my 25-06 Ruger M77 shooting around half MOA.

I've never seen a ruger of any mode be very accurate. My wife has a bone stock 257 red pad that'll shoot one ragged hole with anything you feed it My oldest son has a bone stock 223 I think it's a MK11 but I don't remember for sure that's the same way I've not seen many Ruger rifles or revolvers that wouldn't shoot My answer to the original question though would be a John Gallagher
