Ruger no 1 question

I have a newer Ruger no 1. A lipsey's special edition(I guess) in 25-06. Accuracy, so far is about what I expected(not what I hoped for), at about 1 1/2-2 inches at 100. Can someone tell me if I can install a hicks accurizer on this newer model no 1? Thanks in advance.

FWIW
Update: went out and fired 2-4 shot groups after I bedded the barrel. 1st 4 shot group @ 1 1/2" and 2nd 4 shot group @ 1 1/8". I think it's about as good as I'm gonna get it. Could put in a hicks accurizer, but I don't really want too very bad. I haven't heard of any really good aftermarket triggers other than a canjar, which is no longer made, and impossible to find any laying around. I'm gonna do some experimenting with different bullets to see what that yields, but, well, it shoots almost good enough. The test will be when I put it in the gun cabinet for a week or two, and then shoot it again to see if POI changes.
"Mike Whiskey, I checked Brownells. No such part no or no ruger no 1 triggers. Thanks anyway."
that's why I said "if"...I believe Kepplinger went out of business [|)], I have one of the triggers on a .375 h&h and they work well.
Still grouped good. Just had to re-sight after any change.

Recently had a Mod 70 classic that stopped grouping well. Found that one of the rear base screws was broken. (half the screw head was missing
Replacing the screw solved the problem. Owner was ready to rebarrel.
Seems every little thing effect accuracy.
Geri, what exactly would contact between scope base and receiver do to effect accuracy? Not trying to be a smart alec at all. Just curious to know because I've not heard of that before. I may try that after I try a different bullet. I'm using Rel 17 because it always gives me the best velocity as well as the lowest ES and SD.

The theory is that the scope base rib bolted atop the barrel, if it touches the front of the receiver, will cause the barrel harmonics to be not so ... harmonious? Maybe there's something to that, because nearly every No1 I've seen has a tad bit of space between the rear of that rib and the receiver front.
Much as I like the No1s the Winchester 1885 has always been much better to me. The forend is on a hanger bar, separate from the barrel.
