I've a friend that recently purchased new a #1 in .308. A couple of weekends ago he took it to the range to sight in for the first time. Best group was 4" @ 100 yards, and the worst was 7". Tried two different scopes, and different rests, to no avail. Best of 4 types ammo used was the Bear steel case. Worst was the high dollar Hornady. All ammo used was factory and gun was bore sighted before the range session.
The shop owner where purchased says Ruger has never been able to produce a #1 in 308 with consistant accuracy. That's why they are no longer offered in the catalog. Any truth to this statement?
I'm afraid my friend has had a bad experience with Ruger and will be off the brand after this.
A talk with Ruger service got him a transfer to the engineering dept and after a 15 minute talk with someone in that dept, they finally suggested he write a letter with his concerns and mail the whole thing back to them. At his cost of course.
I'd like to hear any other experiences or thoughts on this problem. Thanks
