[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 2684776, member: 77249"] I would check the firing system first, Before thinking about a barrel. Unless the barrel has been treated real bad. Or it is a barrel burner cartridge. 30 years of a gun setting around especially left cocked, Springs will weaken, Dirt get around the firing pin, From previous shooting, And slow the firing pin down. Early Ruger rifles are getting old enough to start acting like early Remington 721, 722 models did about 20 years ago. Replacing the firing pin spring will make some rifles them selves again. If the rifle has a wood stock check the bedding on the barrel and action, I had a 1962 Sako with a French Walnut Stock warp and put pressure on one side of the barrel, The rifle for no reason shot about 10" right at 100 yds. Opened the barrel channel, Shot the rifle and did not move the scope. Back right where it was zeroed at. Good Luck on finding the cause and cure. [/QUOTE]
