[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1025154, member: 33046"] This is not what you may want to hear........ On some of the different forums, there's a number of new owners of the RU that are having problems getting the rifle to group. Some report no better groups than 8" at 100yds. Another reported he tried every charge combination, every bullet he could get his hands on and still, no better than an 8" group. I know of one retailer that sold three new RU rifles. Two of those rifles shoot acceptable groups for the owners out to 100yds only. Neither of those to owners to my knowledge, has shot beyond 100yds. The third owner brought his rifle back to the retailer, madder than a wet hen. He stated he couldn't get it to hit paper at all. The retailer, a muzzleloader himself, went with the owner to shoot the rifle. He couldn't get it to hit a 4 FOOT X 4 FOOT piece of cardboard at 37 YARDS! Remington wanted that rifle back and its been sent. He estimates about two months before it will be returned. Two other owners are sending their rifles back to Remington that I've read about. An within the last couple days, another owner slugged his barrel before shooting it. He called and talked with Remington concerning the specs for the lands and groves. When he slugged his barrel, he found that his, I believe, .011" out of the manufacturers spec. Look as one may, the good reports are just not showing up in the different forums... [/QUOTE]
