THis is NOT my experience. My Ruger No1, purchased new a year ago is LUCKY to hold 2mao and that is on a good day. I have shot 3 inch groups of 3 at 100. I can outshoot the Ruger with a Miruko 1885, same caliber, iron sights. The Ruger has a scope. I just got a CZ 527 for less money. The cz is another looker and it will hold 1/2 moa, that is 0.5" for FIVE shots at 100, every time. Not a lucky group and go home. Just to say, I am not a hack.

Dont tell me any single shot that will do 1/2 moa is just a fancy Ruger. If there was ever a gun sold based on looks vs performance it is the Ruger No1. To be honest, I only keep my Ruger No1 for its classic good looks. That and someday, I may get it figured out and shooting better. I got a higgs accurizer sitting around here some place to try.

If you cannot afford hi end custom,for a nice looker and shooter then get a Miruko. Even the lowly, H&R single would generally out shoot a No1. But, Remington ran that brand into the dirt and held funeral.
