Interesting comments on the red pad/Wilson barrel#1s. I had four of the newer, black pad guns. One 1B in 22H, two 1V in 22 PPC, and a 1V in 223. All were dogs in accuracy department. I tried the various forend floating and pressure schemes, Kepplinger trigger, etc. they were a money pit. Said I’d never own another, I lied. Found a red pad 218 Bee. Floated the forend and put in a Jard trigger.It’s reasonably accurate, 1” or better most of the time.
