Thinking out loud here.
I got a 22" version and it just does not shoot as tight of groups as my 18" Savage rifle in .308.
I had another savage in .308 with 24" and it does not shoot as tight as that one either.
That 24" did not really impress me for a thick barrel deal I ended up cutting it to 20.5" and it tightened right up and the accuracy node was much wider.
The node on the 18" is wide also.. it is just not picky if you get the charge off a bit.
I can load with Lee scoopers and have very excellent ammo Sub MOA easy.
I shot the 22" Ruger vs my 18" savage and found the savage has a fast barrel.
Same loads.
I handload for my guns just so you know.
I was thinking a barrel swap on the Ruger but maybe cut the stock barrel first and see what kind of accuracy I can get from it.
I have 2 .308 rifles now.. the 18" and this Ruger 22"
As is the Ruger is not fast or accurate enough for long distance stuff.
Any suggestions?
