[QUOTE="Taj, post: 3038445, member: 98000"] When those early Rugers first came out I still had my shop and was building a lot of bench rest rifles and varminters. I had many a customer come into the shop and ask if I could do anything about the lack of accuracy with them. We did everything from glass bedding, bolt lapping, recrowning, and on and on but some of them would never achieve any real accuracy. 2 to 3 MOA was acceptable to Ruger in those days and they refused to do anything about it. They were using mostly Wilson barrels and Ruger never refused a barrel due to quality (Lack there of). I remember one barrel that I was going hand lap to try and improve on the way it shot. I poured a lead lap at the muzzle and almost fell on my face when the lap hit about mid barrel because it jumped about 3 inches due to a very loose spot. It's hard to polish a turd. [/QUOTE]
