HEY X1Proto...I too had one other Ruger #1...a 1975 VINTAGE 6MM REM... very plain wood...only paid $265 for it...it would NOT shoot worth a crap no matter what I tried... sold it for 8x what I paid in 2003....ok...I only owned that one.....
but now...being a 308 loony...I just couldn't pass this one up...as long as i hold steady and squeeze the trigger it shoots into one hole...yeah...they do have less than desirable trigger pulls in this day and age...
the fit of wood to metal is really good on mine...no complaints there....shot it today again...51 grains of TAC...BR2 primer...Starline case,new...Barnes 130TTSX @ 2.735OAL...5 shot group was 1.100"
with 4 shots into .6"... speed was 3111 FPS on my LAB RADAR chronograph...YEAH...I'll hold steady and squeeze the trigger like I was taught 68years ago>>>!!!!!!!!!
YMMV.......Luck of the DRAW..???????
