I bought a 7600 270 with a 3x9 Leupold on it. I don’t recall the model. The guy I bought it from was a drunk and a carpenter. He evidently felt that all adjustments needed to be farmer tight and screwed hard -right hand. He said he couldn’t hit anything with it it always shot way to the side...

Cans are so much better than brakes.

I put a suppressor on my 375 H&H AI, which chambers the 375 Weatherby cartridge. It had a break when I bought it.

The 57 grains of H4895 were absolute maximum on my rifle. 375 W AI M98 235 Speer 61 H335 0.729 iron sights 54 1.29" 375 W AI M98 235 Speer 61 H335 1.970 M8-4x 100 1.88" 375 W AI M98 235 Speer 61 H335 1.720 M8-4x 100 1.64" 375 W AI M98 170rn CAST ? ? 0.820 iron sights 54 0.78"...

My 700 Remington 300 Win Mag is accurate - shooting several loads under .5 MOA. The best load is right at .2 MOA. I don’t have to do much to get it to shoot well, including annealing. However, with other rifles I’ve had to do quite a few things to get them to shoot. In particular I have a 722...

I’d get a new barrel. I’ve chambered my own rifles it’s not hard. But I think the best plan is buy a 14” 30-30AI barrel and either keep or sell the 10” 30-30. Sell if money is the issue or keep if variety is important. I like many AI chamberings. The 30-30 AI would be a good one in a single...

Pre-64 300 H&H

Most of the bullets for long range are really poor for closer range shooting.

100 grain Hornady Interlock Flat Base has always been my go-to in the 25-06. Now that Hornady has abandoned this bullet, I'm looking at Partitions and Hot Cores. 100 Hornady Interlock Flat Base 9 ½ 56.7 Grain H4831sc .72 MOA out of my old ADL and .75 out of my Classic.

You could buy this one and bore/chamber to 35 Whelen. There's plenty of barrel.

But if someone believes this rifle is worth the $1,200 I have for it please send me a check. I’ll pay for shipping.

Life’s to short to put up with that kind of accuracy.

I looked at their group again it was 7/8” at 50 yards for 3 shots. They seemed to be proud of their group. I’ll never ever buy another Ruger.

Yes, I’m aware of Rugers past. It is an early one. I feel they should have some responsibility for the poor product they sold. At least a reduced cost replacement barrel. But they are doing nothing. Grrr

I ask them if they considered a 3/4” horizontal spread their idea of accuracy. BTW: the barrel looks like it has very few rounds shot in it.
