Just sent im my montado for repair. the front sight blade came off from me trying to bend it over ot regulate it. Poa on that gun has allways been off about 4 inches. I told them to regulate it when they replaced the blade. This gun has probably had somewhere between 30 and 50000 rounds though it since i got it a few years ago and was starting to look a bit tattered. Now its a stainless gun and a little polishing and at the most a new barrel would have taken care of it. Ruger was kind enough to send me a whole new gun. Only sad thing is all my load developement for the gun is out the door and it was a finiky gun to start with. Took the new one out and shot a box of ammo i had left for the old one using its favorite load of 9.3 grains of herco and a rcbs swc. My 1 1/4 groups turned into 4 inch groups. Back to the bench with this one! But i cant blame ruger. I guess it was very generous of them to give me a new gun. Either that or the gunsmith on duty was a bit lazy that day.
