RE: 30-06?
Its not neccassarily a scope problem. Their could be a pressure point on the barrel that is sending it off. This could also worsen as you shoot more often due to the heat change of the barrel. Also, allow the barrel to cool between shots. Hot barrels can shoot very, very, poorly (discovered that with my 270 WSM!)

most likely it is a scope mount, could be as said above. Ruger makes a quality product. And all mine are very accurate. I have five rugers, and they all shoot great. Re-mount your scope. check for damage, and use locktight. it is great!

In addition to the things mentioned above it might just be that the rifle does not like the ammo that you are feeding it. If everything else is ok with the rifle, then you may switch the kind of ammo you are using.

i have a ruger m77 30-06 springfeild bolt action wood stock rifle. i went out and shot it this weekend to make sure it was sighted in and it was all over the place from about 60 yards. i also took my trusty .243 and it was extremely accurate. but the 30-06 was wayyyyyyyyy off. anyone else with this problem?

Ive owned a couple of 77s and although they as solidly built rifles, their triggers are typically heavy w/ alot of creep(overtravel)a big help may be to have a trigger job done or get an ,easy drop in ,aftermarket trigger like rifle basix to lighten up your trigger pull which will tighten your groups aswell. Good luck!
