Ruger Varminter

[bootlaceb]

Hi All,

I need some advise plse, I bought a Ruger Varmiter in 223Rem. She refuses to group anything better that 1.75". Makes no difference what bullets, weight etc.
At first I needed to cut the crown again, it had a suspect mark on, Yeah, new gun!!)
Even had to buy adjustable rings..my rings are WAY out to the right..with that one cannot use the factory supplied ones either!!
Now, I hear there are quite a few people with accuracy problems on this particular model.
Ruger advises people NOT to bed this rifle..?? I think it can be a cheap start, ie, not putting a new barrel on yet...
Now, my question...has anyone had such a problem, and if bedding helped, was there any particular way of bedding? Any particular part that needed and others that did not need bedding?
Many Thanx

Sounds as if you gun needs a trip back to Ruger for some surgery.

Accuracy issues is why I no longer own any Rugers. Some people get lucky and get an accurate one. I never did. I quit trying after three. If you want an accurate Mauser style action, I recommend the CZ rifles. Just MHO.

I only ever owned one Ruger Varmint .
It was a laminate 22-250 with the grey finnish.......absolutely beautiful rifle.

After a month of screwing around with loads I traded it for a Sig pistol.

No regrets and except for the 10/22 I have,no more Ruger rifles for me.
