I've been having challenges with my new Wrangler and just sent the following to Ruger customer service. Based on the reviews the point of aim should be regulated to roughly 15yds and 1.5" to 2.0" groups achievable. I'm not a professional shooter so I didn't expect it to be a tack driver but I was hoping it would be comparable to my Heritage and it's not close. Has anyone else experienced issues?
"I noticed accuracy issues out of the box but I wanted to shoot more rounds and different brands to see if the gun needed broke in or didn't like my ammo. In the week I've owned it I have shot approximately 200 rounds and the accuracy has not improved. I've shot CCI Select, Federal Premium, American Eagle, Winchester Super-X and Eley and the best I can get it to group is 4.00" to 4.35" with the Eley. All shooting was done standing with two hands gripping the gun. The other brands were anywhere from 5.59" to 7.70". The other issue is point of aim. At 15 yards it is consistently 2.5" to 3.0" low and 2.5" to 3.0" left. I wanted to make sure it wasn't me so I shot my Heritage Rough Rider in the same manner and my groups were consistently 2.0" to 2.5". Based on the reviews and my experience with other Ruger revolvers I own I expected more so maybe I purchased a dud? Any assistance would be much appreciated."
