Back when Ruger first introduced their #3 rifle, I bought one chambered for 22 Hornet.
It never was a real tack driver but would shoot at MOA with the right loads.
I have fired a few thousand rounds through it. Mostly shooting at sage rats.
My biggest issue with it was to get it to shoot round groups. Most groups opened up vertically
.It now has begun to vertical string my favorite load that shot 23/4 inch round groups.
My deer rifle is a #1 in 25-06. It does not have the vertical stringing issue.
I have read that the Ruger single shots have problems with vertical stringing.
What do you people know about this issue and have you heard of a solution.
Enquiring minds want to know....dale
