[QUOTE="MachV, post: 144831, member: 93"] Cut my teeth on a Ruger 243 that was just as you discribe,it grouped best hot. The first shot from the gun was always out of the group BUT it was always out the same place!! So I just sighted it in with the first shot and lived with it for years.There are a couple of things to try though to make it more consistant. You/he might want to look into getting it pillar bedded by someone who knows Rugers.Shy of that the action screws can be adjusted to se if that helps.Loosen all the screws a little and rest it on the recoil pad muzzle up.Then tighten the front recoil lug screw as tight as you can get it.Then tighten up the back tang screw fairly snugg.The center screw is tightened only enough to hold it in,if this helps just locktight the center screw loose to keep it from moveing.Another thing to look for is that the back tang is freefloated in the stock....If it is hitting againt the stock on the back side it can cause irratic groups.
