Just got a used #1 RSI and took it out to the range. Once on paper at 100 yards, I got two an inch apart then next one is an inch higher and 3 inches to the left. 4th shot is inch higher then first two and 4 inches to the right. I let barrel cool between each shot, checked scope mounts...

Just bought a used #1 RSI from a seller on gunbroker. rifle is in excellent shape as advertised except one thing: There is a little rattle as if somethig is moving around inside when I tilt it back and forth. Anyone have this happen before? Do you think it is safe to shoot?

A friend of mine has a 460 performance center and bought a couple of boxes of hornady 200gr. ammo. He was not able to get the gun to group better than 2 inches at 50 yards (with scope) and now wants to get rid of it. I am tempted to get it but I shot it 5 times and did not like the muzzle...

I am ready to get into hand gun hunting and I am definetly getting a ruger. I like the super blackhawk hunter with the 7.5 inch barrel, but was wondering if the redhawk with the 9.5 inch barrel has a real advantage over it. I read an article that says the difference in velocity would be about...

I have been craving a new Ruger no. 1 in 300 win mag not cause I need one, but I have always loved the look of that rifle. However, in researching I have come to find that accuracy in the no. 1 is hit or miss (pun intended). After doing more research, I find that most people blame the...
