Own several Rugers this one is now my favorite.took it chuck and p.d. hunting, my shooting partner shot a 100 yd. group,7 rounds that wen't into a nice round one and a quarter inch group, load was 124gr rainer h.p. 3.7 yrs clays powder fed 100 primer a.v.1162 col 1.110,haven't been able to duplicate since (came close) but this is awesome accuracy for a little carbine.took 1000 rounds to montana,shot them all, if I could get with in 100 yds. they were toast, if you have one share your favorite load.
