I've had a few rugers. First thing I'd check is to make sure the front action screw isn't touching the stock. If it touches the stock all bets are off. Normally only happens when someone beds the action and doesn't relieve the hold a little. My first 30-06 ruger shot a whole lot better with the forend pressure. It was a 5/8" gun with pressure and 1.5-2" without it. If you sand it out and it doesn't work you can always put an epoxy pad in there to put it back in.
