My carbine single shot

Ruger #3 Custom.jpg

My carbine single shot rifle is a Ruger #3 in 45-70.
16.5 inch barrel, Hicks Accurizer, Canjar adjustable set trigger and Leupold 1-4X scope.
Not what you usually think of when someone says the rifle is a carbine.

What is your opinion of the Hick's Accurizer?
Ruger #1's in 22 Hornet and 45-70. I always thought the Hornet should shoot a little better.
Because I care, I carry.

Haven't had a chance to play with it. Prior owner said it will shoot a 3 shot clover leaf at 100 yards with Hornady 410 gr Sub X bullets over 42 grns of RL 10X. I would think RL 10X powder wouldn't be a good choice.

Thanks cobb.

My Ruger 77 22 Hornet shoots better than my Ruger #1 22 Hornet. I never felt good about that. May need to try a few things.
