Custom 44 mag. does not shoot well.

I bought a custom 44 Ruger carbine on here last fall. It was described as a great shooter, it has a full laminated stock (manlicher) sp. and I believe a dougles barrel. It is a beautiful gun and at 50 yards it will drive tacks at 100 which I consider it's max., it won't shoot in your hat. I have worked on the trigger and it is crisp, used different tightness on the barrel band, and have considered adding a pressure point. I want to shoot 240 hp bullets if possible. I have had many regular Ruger carbines in the past that shot well at 100 yards, I am wondering if the long stock on this one is causing some problems? The work on this gun was done by Bill Meyer or that's whose name is on the barrel. Any ideas as to what to do? Loads? Modiffications?
Please help.
Thanks,

My border collie is smarter than your honor student.
I assume the same bullets are grouping good at 50, and lousy at 100.
The 100 yd groups should about twice the size of the 50 yd groups if you are using the same ammo.
Are these factory or reloaded ammo?
Here's mine:
