I had this rifle a few years back. It was a beautiful rifle, but I couldn't ever get a decent group out of it. After floating the barrel and replacing the trigger, I still did not get good accuracy even for a 44. I also tried several different loads without any better results.It may have been a 1 out of a million rifle that was bad, but mine was. I have several Ruger rifles that I love, but this one got traded. Good luck!!!
