[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1582331, member: 29632"] Today I had the oppurtunity to shoot the ruger long range precision rifle chambered in 6.5 creedmoor, the owner told me its 1100 yard ready out of the box, not sure what that's supposed to mean but he says thats what they were claiming. He had shot it several times but didnt really comment on it other than to say he couldnt get it to shoot when he tried to take it out to 300. I sat down at 100 yards and didn't even hit paper so I bore sighted it, and got it on in a couple rounds, then proceeded to put 10 in the orange dot on one of those shoot and see targets. Pretty impressed with the rifle actually but the owner had no idea what he had before that moment. Then I went ahead and zeroed 2 more for him that he said wouldn't shoot. Ended up with sub MOA on one and MOA on the other. I bring this up because I imagine this is the norm for what these Mfrs are having to cater to. The folks on this forum are probably a very small representation of gun owners, hence when you call a mfr and say their rifle wont shoot what they claim they just roll their eyes because they just got 10 calls from guys like this one whose boresight was literally 3 feet right of target, but somehow it's the rifle that's not performing.
