You might get many more responses in the single shot category. I have a Browning78 which is the same gun in 6mm and just love it.

nice guns.....but accuracy can be difficult to attain regardless of the advertizing done....this is also true of the Ruger #1

Be your own judge.

We've sold two and they both shoot under MOA; both are 300WSM. They're both using factory ammo.

I have shot a 270 and a 25-06 that are most accurate, right out of the box. I prefer shooting the 1885 rather than the Ruger No.1. Gripping the lever on the No. 1 changes the POI. Gripping rhe stock and lever on the 1885 does not.

My 1885 in 45-70 will easily get 1" groups with any factory load.When I got mine I noticed that the hanger didn't sit firmly on the receiver due to inspection stamps on the receiver I corrected that before I shot it .Could that be Vapodogs problem?
