I had issues with my 617. Clocked barrel, could not adjust sights enough for windage or elevation. Returned for repairs.

While I was waiting I bought a GP 100 22. While the double action trigger is not as good as the 617, it is not that bad. I like the balance and sights better on the Ruger . Accuracy is similar.

When I got the 617 back, about 3 weeks no charge,barrel was straight. Rear sight was replaced and old one returned. And though I can't prove it I swear they smoothed the action.

I would call and send it back. If you decide you want the Ruger ,the GP100 is also a good revolver.
