A friend of mine and I both have Rugers with the tang safety and the new Mark II. We have kinda decided we like the old tang safety better. I was wondering what the rest of you all liked better.
I have the "newer" bolt 3 position (M70 Type)safety... I like its function, safe/locked bolt, load/unload and fire...
I have not shot the tang safety version M77... But my Winchester Model 94 30-30 has one, and I like it too. Both are better, in my opinion, than the "cross bolt" safety, on the trigger guard...
I prefer the Tang safety for location and convenience but the 3-position is way better as an actual safety. With the 3-position, you have a "shoot" position, a "safety on, bolt unlocked" position for unloading, and a "full safe" position that locks the sear and the bolt.
Tang, all the way. I like mine. It is a 77R DZ in .270 Win, made in 1989. It has killed a bunch of game. Best shot was a wounded Mule Deer buck (friend wounded) at 400 yards (I am tall and pace with long steps that equal very close to 1 yard) with 1 shot to the lungs. Very nice gun.
I like both but I lean toward the Tangsafety, I just think the older tangsafety Rugers are better made than the new MKII's. I currently have 7 MKII's and 4 Tang Safetys. But I do have to say with either a trigger job or a new Timney in the MkII's they shoot very accurate.
Tang where I use to work we had to carry the MkII good rfiles but had that winchester type safety, didn't care for it at all.
Hey jengel I am sure that is not a factory stock, where did ya get that stock at. Its beatiful
I like both. The tang on my A-bolt can't be beat for field use while looking through the scope, but I like the secure lock up of the three position on my MKII while carrying over hill and dale.
I have taken apart a couple of these bolts a few times on early revs but the newest revs are nearly impossible. so far impossible as far as i can tell.
The general look is the same but there looks to be a complete redesign on the bottom of the bolt and certainly how the striker bolt and...
Any aftermarket chassis for Ruger American Predator mini action in 223. I have looked at several chassis but only found a few for short actions but not mini actions for 223. Thanks
I just ordered the rifle this morning but I know the trigger will be too heavy for me. Do you trim the coils or is it better to buy the M-Carbo spring? It is $12.95 but I imagine it will be $20 by the time you pay "shipping and handling" for what is about a 25 cent item but I know they have to...
After doing my research on the 350 Legend I have decided that it's the cartridge that most fits the bill for what I'm looking for. I want to replace my old 30-30 as my deer rifle but also want to be able to shoot targets and just plink. Since I reload it could be a really cheap rifle round to...
I was just watching a couple of video's of guys "upgrading" their composite stocks. Apparently some are pretty lightly constructed. One that I recall could be almost twisted like a wet washrag with the action removed. How are the stocks on the American Rifles? Are they pretty flimsy or are they...
