4 Seventy, I completely agree. Last evening I had the chance to fire a few rounds, the first two were identical to the last two of my first shooting, described earlier. I decided to tinker with the jacksrew as it is called. It was may understanding that turning the jackscrew towards the butt of the rifle would move the impact of the right barrel to the right. I move it 4 clicks towards the butt and the point of impact for the right barrel moved 1.5 inches farther to the left. I returned the jackscrew back to the original position and the groups returned as they were previously. I then turned the jackscrew four clicks toward the muzzle and moved the right barrel point of impact 1 inch to the right. With these adjustments and a center bullseye hold at 25 yards I end up with the right barrel hitting at nine o'clock just off the bullseye and the left barrel one inch high to the point of aim. I plan on working on the trigger pulls this weekend. I checked them and the front trigger breaks at 8.5 pounds, the rear trigger at 9 pounds. Unsure how to deal with the travel and or creep in both triggers. In regards to the pistol grip design I don't know what to do. I found that if I take a firm grip well forward of where you normally would it makes the gun somewhat more comfortable to shoot but I still found myself still having to completely reset for the second shot. The sights will have to be replaced since they are difficult to acquire with any consistency (could be my age). The rear sight slants toward the shooter so I plan on turning it around and filing the U notch into a shallow "V". I believe for the front sight I will have to make something. Some folks on the AR site have posted a few idea's regarding the front sight that I believe will work. I also understand that NECG sella a peep sight for the Ruger guns that will fit the 11mm rib, this sight is about $80.00 so I will try to get the gun shooting before I invest in it. In regards to the gun being so light at the muzzle, I wonder if I might fit a piece of tooled steel between the barrels from just in front of the jackscrew to the front sight ramp. I believe it would add a few ounces, but will have to see how it effects the regulation. May not be worth the effort. If the rain ends over the weekend I will test other loads, I have read that the factory loaded 405 grains perform well. I'll keep you posted
