Just picked up a new Ruger Single six, 6.5" barrel earlier today.
I Spent the afternoon firing about 200 rounds through it, and I think I may have a problem...
All of the shooting I have done with it so far has been at 15 yards.
Out of the box, at 15 yards it was shooting about 4 inches to the left, and 4 inches high. The elevation was corrected fairly easily, the windage however is giving me issues. I had to crank the rear sight pretty far to the right in order to point of aim at 15 yards. As a matter of fact it is so far to the right the aim just does not seem natural.
Also, in terms of groupings, I think I have gotten better groups with a shotgun. Ive tried different ammo (federal match, federal bulk, remington, aguila) and the groups are all terrible. As a comparison, all those ammo brands give me great groupings out of my Ruger semi autos.
Suggestions? Do I need to send this back to ruger? the pics below show how far Ive had to crank the site to get the correct windage. It seems like if I crank the windage screw any further it will fall out.
