[QUOTE="Gene, post: 625575, member: 7402"] Many years ago I bought a 1B in 6mm Rem. It just would not shoot. Complained to Ruger, and they said send it back and they would replace the barrel. It took a year to get it back (they continually said that bbl was on back order). With the new barrel, it did not shoot any better and I sold it. About 6 years ago, I bought a new 1V in .25-06, Again, it did not shoot well, and I had it accurized and I installed a Moyers trigger. These improvements did help. But, it likes just one bullet and load: Speer 87 gr TNT over 59.5 grs. imr 7828. Its devastating on groundhogs, but I would not use that load on antelope, which is what I bought it for. I can get 5 shots under an inch at 100 yds with that load. This past Monday, took it to the range, and found my old Lyman 12x scope would not adjust. I bought a new scope yesterday. Also, found that my old RCBS sizer die was causing necks with about .005" TIR. Bought a new, but used die set. Necks now about .001". Hopefully, I can get it back on track. The Ruger #1 is a beauty, functions well and I believe it still sells well. But as said above, you have about a 50% chance of getting a good one. [/QUOTE]
