Well, we took the gun to someone this weekend that knows much more about them than we do. His first comment was check the barrel floating if it is giving vertical groups. He took the forearm off and Ruger didn't finish routing out the barrel channel. The channel was very rough and while 90% of the length of the barrel would take a dollar bill smoothly, there was about 1/2" of wood that didn't get taken out and it was clearly visible that the barrel had heated up and been touching that portion. He said it was just a poor finish job by ruger. Took it all down and did a float job. We haven't had it out to the range yet, but excited to go see what it looks like.
