isnt that standard on any ruger...... a mate bought a hawkeye a few years ago same thing, has "worn in"(i guess thats the best discription) nicely tho

i guess what your going to do with it is important , are you going to try and run heavy subs? the twist rate might be a deciding factor what size is the barrel? .308 or .311?
i havent tried either of these so cant offer qualified advise ..... i did almost buy a ranch in 300blk i liked the feel considering its plastic maybe the balance and it shouldered good for me ( im not abnormally tall like some people).......but then a cheap 7.62 bisley popped up which has cost me less scoped and supressed than the ranch rifle was going to cost
