REGARDING ACCURACY: The accuracy of any rifle can vary depending upon the
make and type of cartridges used in it. Such being the case, if your RUGER
®
NO. 1 rifle does not perform to expectations, it is advisable to try several brands
and types of cartridges to determine which one delivers the best accuracy, before
proceeding further. If your rifle is not as “accurate” as you believe it should be,
before concluding that some serious fault exists, run the following checks:
1. Be certain the forend screw is snugly tightened.
2. Be certain the bore is clean and free from accumulated metal fouling
(deposited by metal jacketed and lead bullets). See the “Care and Cleaning”
section of this manual.
