Single-Sixer
Finally got out with my single seven today, and it was a mixed bag.
Things that were good:
Trigger felt good, to me.
Sites were right on.
First .327 experience, and it gave a satisfying boom. I've had .32H&R for years, and it's definitely a step up.
Things that were not so good:
Indexing for loading and unloading; it's really tedious when the "click" is too far and you have to go around again. I already knew this was an issue from handling it at home with empty cases, but it's more annoying when you're on the range.
There's gravel in my action. When cocking the hammer, it would occasionally hang up so that it would not cock. I could manually rotate the cylinder, but that wouldn't necessarily free up the hammer. Sometimes, it would take multiple attempts to draw it all the way back. It does not happen on the same chamber every time.
So tell me, should I have to open it up to clean out whatever grit or chips are getting in the way of the hammer, or to see if that's really the issue, or should I call Ruger?
If I send it in, I'll also ask them to open up the loading gate.
