Had one once myself. Even with the rear sight hanging out in the breeze, it shot way to one side. Crooked barrel or receiver threads. Went down the road.
My Number 1 was purchased used, but like new, on GB for $800, and it was nearby allowing me to pick it up in person. The rings were lost somewhere, but I got Leupolds, which I like very much. They are a bit narrower than the Rugers, which helps just a bit with scope placement. Very nice gun, probably a keeper. The little 2.5x had no noticeable effect on balance or weight. Just about perfect.
