Has anyone purchased a Ruger 7 shooter? If so how does it shoot?
I've had a 4" GP100 7 shot since March & it's heading back to Ruger! Shoots 7-8" high @ 25yds, from a bench rest with factory Speer .357 Mag 158g. GDHP. Rear sight is ALL the way down & front is the OEM fiberoptic.
Very disheartening & irritating!!
Anyone else having the same problem, or heard of it?
When the 7-shooters were first released, they had a problem with case rims hitting each other in the cylinder. Several people had that problem on Ruger Forum. One very good thing about Ruger - they'll make it right if you send it back. I bought a used SP-101WC and sent it back for end-shake issues, and complained about the finish. They fixed the end-shake and polished it so nicely that I haven't had the nerve to fire it since!
I got a 2.5" GP100 .357 with the 7 round cylinder yesterday. The ammo I currently have (Hornady CD and Remington UMC) doesn't touch or bind. I haven't shot it yet, though, so I can't tell you how accurate or not it is. One thing I can tell you is that the trigger on these GP models are very nice...lots better than the trigger on my SP101.
