I used Rody's Gun Shop in New Hampshire (603) 863-three three 56.
I had the same problem. I would have to look up the exact work and parts but they fixed it. Shoots like it should again. Good luck!

I've had two of them; the older version and the newer one that had a mini14 like action. Ruger would not service the older gun because there hasn't been parts for them in a decade. The newer version (now also discontinued) could probably be serviced by Ruger.
Both of mine were reliable shooters and could print 2" groups with a preferred handload. They were devastating on whitetails at moderate range.

Mine is an older gun with loading tube, not the one with the rotary mag. Gr8 gun, but not too much fun as a single shot.

Yes sir, good luck. Mine is an old model with the tube feed as well. I run 240gr JFP with a healthy dose of 2400. My favorite river bottom pig gun!
Like 22 gr?

I had one like yours and the feed ramp became worn and rough after very few firings.sent it back and Ruger fixed it. Check yours. If that's the problem you may be able to stone it and make it function. Just a wild guess but won't hurt to check. Good luck with it. Mine worked best with round nosed bullets like the remington hollow points.
