I have a 1022 Carbine that never really shot very good groups even using higher tier ammo. My gun dealer buddy had a new LVT barrel that he had personally tested to be a good shooter and offered it to me at a good price. I ordered a take off stock from S&P Outfitters and carried it to my buddy. He installed the barrel, slipped in the stock, mounted my scope and we test fired it. The initial poi was 11" to the right @ 25 yrds. and the windage was maxed out to the left and still 2" short of the target's center. We tried 4 more scopes but got the same results.
My son said try his 1022 receiver and after adjusting my scope's windage back to the right the groups were dialed in @ 25 yrds.
Subsequent groups @ 50 yrds. looked good as well after adjusting the elevation.
My son is not shooting his 1022 and said just use his receiver for now.
Ruger has offered to sell me a return shipping label for my carbine for $45.00 so they can check it out or I could just buy a stripped reciever from an online vendor for $89.99. I am weighing my options but in the meantime my question is what would cause my receiver to be off that much and what should I check?
