My Ruger #1A 7x57 was a red pad gun that would not shoot anything that resembled a group. My gunsmith did a chamber cast and determined the throat was almost 2.5" long. Contacted Ruger and they said send it in. They declared it accurate and sent it back. There was a deep scratch on the barrel and that was conspicuous by it's absence so I figure Ruger just put another barrel on the without admitting doing it. It's quite accurate now. My favorite #1.

Our forefathers did not politely protest the British.They did not vote them out of office, nor did they impeach the king,march on the capitol or ask permission for their rights. ----------------They just shot them.
