Grey,
I didn't mean to say that they are all inaccurate. Sorry if I was being confusing again. I find the Ruger Americans to be very accurate if they are assembled correctly.
This one that I fixed had gross oversights in its assembly though. There was plastic "flashing" from the stock molding sandwiched between the V blocks and the action. Also, one of the V blocks had a casting flaw. There was a half round protrusion in the middle of the mating surface about the size of a BB. It was actually making a dent in the bottom of the action. You could see from just looking at the barreled action in the stock that something was wrong. The barrel was pressing HARD into one side of the stock. I cleaned it all up, filed down the protrusion flush and made sure the stock wasn't contacting the barrel anywhere. After that, it was accurate like you would expect from a 22-250. It makes me question the QC going on at Ruger though. It seems that they don't spend any time finishing the metal surfaces or checking for simple issues.
