I just put a beautiful used .223 Ruger M77 Hawkeye Compact on lay-away at the LGS. I've been reading a few negative reviews on the lack of accuracy. Some report 3-4 inch groups at 100 but say after resetting or rebedding the action it shrinks to an inch.
I plan on putting a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 on it and using it for a simple woods gun. I don't need to punch single hole groups but I'd like to at least be able to hit what I aim at.
So does anyone have experience with this rifle? What can I expect as far as making it accurate?
