I own a Ruger No. 1V in .22-250 that is supposed to be a great varmint rifle. When I first fired it, I couldn't believe what a horrible trigger it had. I quickly fired off a very nasty letter to Ruger about their CYA lawyers. Never got a reply.

Best solution I could think of at the time: I sent for a Moyers trigger and had it installed. While not a target-shooter's dream, it is so much better than the factory job.

My advice to any Ruger No. 1 owner: Get rid of the factory trigger and get an after-market replacement.

What is most disappointing to me is that such a premium-priced, beautiful piece of firearm could be so crappy out of the box.
