I've got a Ruger #1V that is tormenting me. On the one hand, it is a very accurate rifle that turns in 5/8" groups with 40 grain V-Maxs. On the other hand it seems to have problems with point of impact shifts. I was at a sniper shoot on the weekend and over the course of 52 rounds fired over half an hour I had to make scope adjustments no less than ten times. Further, it seemed to be good for a couple shots and then move all at once. It certainly seems to be a bedding issue. Is this the kind of thing that a Hicks accurizer can correct? I've also seen an article about drilling and tapping the foreend hanger for a set screw. Has anyone tried this and does it work as well? Any other #1 accuracy advice would be great as well.

Thanks,
