[QUOTE="MachV, post: 678923, member: 93"] This aint a tuff question=will the gun shoot 1.5MOA or better and how to find out in the least amount of effort and cost? #1 Its a Ruger. Take the action out of the stock and give the trigger a good spray of carb cleaner or WD-40 work the empty action and trigger a few times to get it freed up as much as it will. Then put the action back in the stock with the stock sitting on the recoil pad, with the screws started but not tight. Tighten the front recoil screw to 65 inch lbs and then the back one to the same, the middle one you want to be just tight enough to stay put.....finger tip tight with a screw driver. #2 Put a known scope on it that you trust! Not a new unproven scope or one that is laying around. Pick up a box of remington corelocks and a box of the federal classics....100-117 grains. They are cheap and good indicators of the rifles ability to group out to 300 yards. #3 Shoot them slow with a good rest, dont count the first three after you have cleaned the barrel. You are going to have a good idea of how the rifle is gonna shoot after 6 rounds from each box of shells. Your reloads might help shrink the groups a little or be faster but my $$ is on the 110grain accubonds being larger. [/QUOTE]
