[QUOTE="justinp61, post: 1729237, member: 35795"] Several years ago I bought a new savage mdl 116 in 260 Remington. I tried off and on for two year's to find something it would shoot, nothing. The best was 2.5-3" at 100 yards. A friend of mine had bought a bore scope so we inspected the barrel, it was horrible. It looked like little balls on the rifling. I sent photos to savage and they wanted it back, even though it was over a year out of warranty. Pretty good customer service I thought. They rebarreled it and sent it back. It shot 1.5" at 100, I pulled the barrel and installed a new Shaw. It now shoots less than 1/2" at 100. I hope Ruger fixes the OP's rifle. [/QUOTE]
