thanks all for the info. So it sounds like the biggest accuracy issue that most of you have had is barrel quality. I'm well familiar with Ruger's early barrel quality issues with their supplier, but when they started making their own barrels, that essentially took care of much of the accuracy problems with both #1s and 77s. So are the #1s with Ruger's own barrels usually better in terms of accuracy, or does the forend issue still plague the rifle's accuracy? thanks again.
i have my own rifle range and help people learn to shoot better ,the biggest problem with rifle accuracy i have seen is many shooters just don`t know how to shoot well on a bench but think they do , ladies and kids seem to learn easier and faster. i used too let my 10 year old son shoot a Sako 17 Remington in front of many shooters that humbled many guys who thought they knew how to shoot well . that seemed to help the mucha guys to listen and learn then. so when i hear Ruger #1`s don`t shoot well it makes me laugh.
