Black pad is later vintage. Not sure when they started making better barrels. My K1A in 6.5x55 will put the first two shots into the same hole at 100 yards. The third shot will be about an inch away.

Black pad denotes a Ruger-made, hammer forged barrel, which began in the early 90's

I have several, and have no complaints about accuracy. I truly believe they pretty much shoot as well as my bolt guns. But then I'm not shooting them a half mile either.


There is no accounting for taste.

Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.

Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

My R#1A in 7x57 consistently shoots three 150s at 1/2" to 3/4" at 100 yds.

I -relieved the wood at the rear of the fore arm to not touch the action.
-Put some bedding in the front of the fore arm.
-Put a hard plastic shim snug between the barrel and the hanger.

Holds poi without shift over time and weather variations.

Did same with R#3 in 223 and same results.

1/2 MOA at 200 yards. This group is cherry picked, but it is consistently 1 MOA for three shots. Starts to walk vertically until you let the barrel cool after that. Definitely an accurate rifle for hunting. Not for shooting strings of 10.

I have a fix for that...shoot while it's 12 degrees like i've been doing...hard to heat the barrel
