Ruger #1 accuracy.
26/01/12 11:06 AM

I'm a new member here but a long time shooter and hunter. About 35 years ago I bought a #1 in 3oo win mag. I took several deer and coyotes with it but it never shot as good as I thought it should.
It's been preety much a safe queen for most of its life. About a year ago I installed a Hicks device hoping that it would straighten out my flyer problem. No help!!!! So it sat again. Then I asked on another forum about the problem and a fellow on that site suggested that I make sure the 1/4 rib not touch the reciever. It was most definately touching so I took it off and filed an .080" gap between the rib and the reciever. WOW!!!! This rifle with the first load thru it and 160 gr bullets shot a .462" 5 shot group!!! Next load with 180 gr bullets shot a .602 group!! Now its time to work on loads and getting the Hicks device tuned up. Now I have a rifle that I can vaporize grey diggers at long range with and hunt my favorite Roosevelt elk also. FRJ
