[QUOTE="olympicmotors, post: 965334, member: 63459"] I have a Ruger Hawkeye I bought new in 2010. I have spent quite a bit of money on it so far, but I am still not happy with it's accuracy. I have had it glass bedded and free floated, the trigger adjusted to about 2.5 lbs., the head spacing in the barrel tightened up. I have gone through several scopes, ( right now it has a Zeiss Conquest 3.5 - 14 ). I have gone through many types of factory ammo. ( remington, winchester, black hills, and Hornady ) I likes Hornady by far the best. I am shooting off a concrete bench, with a ransom rest. My last trip to the range best group at 100 yards was about 1.25 inch ( 3 shot groups ) with letting the barrel cool down between groups. But my 200 yard groups were much worse than they should have been. ( 4 - 5 inches ) I am either going to get my gunsmith to re-barrel it with a little heavier contour barrel, or sell it and try my luck with a Winchester model 70. I am thinking about just buying the Winchester from Hill Country Rifles already set up. What does everyone think of their work? Does anyone have any experience with them? Thanks for any information and advice you can give me. [/QUOTE]
