[QUOTE="Nomosendero, post: 2896384, member: 3622"] Curious, is it a red pad rifle? The older red pad rifles were not as consistent as the newer black pad versions. Some of the oldest had Douglas barrels, but many of the red pad (recoil pad) rifles had cheap barrels. Some times you would get lucky but more often you would not. Now Ruger makes their own barrels, and many are shooters. I have 2 that are, a Lipsey .264 WM and a .257 Wea. Mag. The 257 will shoot sub 1/2" @ 100 with factory ammo. The .264 will easily shoot sub-MOA with my loads. I have bolt rifles that are better long-range performers, I would not expect them to shoot better than a good long range bolt gun but sub MOA is not a problem with many of the newer ones. With yours being a 6mm Heavy Barrel, odds are it is an old one. [/QUOTE]
