[QUOTE="thekyrifleman, post: 920973, member: 67984"] Thought my experience w/#1 was unique!! Bought one in 7mag, gorgeous!! To the range, 140gr Rem factory loads, no better than 3"!!! Surprised since my 7mag 700 would go inside an inch with hand loads. Ok, to the bench, worked up identical load, only benefit about 125fps faster....26" vs 24"...finally called the Ruger factory and was told "there is something wrong, send it back!" Got it back, new barrel, with a target, two shots at 50 yds about an inch apart.....Accompanying note said, "In spec"...so back to the range, after countless iterations, I finally gave up, went to my smith and had it rebarreled to 220 Swift. Bull barrel, chrome moly, even more gorgeous than before:rolleyes:!!! Don't know all that he did, but now groups average about 3/8"...at this point, all is well, however, I would like to change the trigger, best pull weight about 4#. Saw the Kepplinger mentioned with good results, anyone else have other trigger experience? [/QUOTE]
