[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2813862, member: 11853"] I had two Ruger #1's,a 1977 1-V and a 1976 1-B,both 7mags.They both were very challenging to get them to shoot accurately.Finally after floating the forearms and bedding around the hanger screw the accuracy was much improved.I was able to get both of them down to about an inch group,which was much better than their original 2-3" groups.I fired 5 Tubb's Throat Maintenance Bullets in each rifle and they both,for the first time shot under an inch.Why Ruger never made improvements to the forearm I'll never know.It seems like it has been an on going issue for many people that have one.I ended up selling the 1-V because it had a 24" barrel and the velocity for some reason ran about 200fps slower than the 26" barrel 1-B with the same load.I had another Remington 7mag with a 24" barrel and the 1-V was 100fps slower than the 700 with the same load.I never played with the 1-V to see if I could get the velocity closer,I ended up selling it and kept the 1-B.Here is how I got it shooting after the work I did on it.The 1-B shot as good or a little better.[ATTACH type="full"]461042[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
