Just received confirmation of receipt from Ruger service department. I am anxious to see if that can do anything to the FTW to improve accuracy.

I guess I am badmouthing them, but I was shocked when they responded:

"Thank you for contacting Ruger Customer Service. Your Customer Service Issue # is 10175270

The expected accuracy of 6.5 creedmore Hawkeye is 1 1/5 " @50 yards. If you are unable to get this accuracy we recommend sending in the rifle.

Ruger Customer Service"

I can achieve 3-MOA accuracy with my Savage 20-gauge slug gun. Here's me crossing my fingers..................
