[jamie g 17]

check everything is tight and then strat with mod off then try different scope. clean the barrel and look at the crown

I tried different ammo in mine and found Winchester subsonic give me a better grouping

I tried many throughout the years and winchesters suit best for my Ruger 10/22.

 

How is your mag? Any jamming yet?

[Mr_Logic 5]

10/22 should be shooting about an inch or so, depending on which 10/22, the trigger etc!

was using remington subsonics

yeah that will be the problem, they are not good for accuracy.

 

Try using Eley subsonics, and the grouping should be within an inch with a Ruger 10/22

 

Also a better scope will help alot, a 4x32 is really not good, use a 3-9x40 at the minimum, preferably 5-15x40 or similar i would say.

thanks all for the info. no jamming so far . looks like i'll be investing in different ammo and a better scope. maybe a full strip down and clean .what cleaning regieme do you boys use

Check the barrel securing screw. If the wood gets compressed through overtightening the tip of the screw will contact the barrel, this can ruin accuracy. It will show as a bright ring on the barrel (inside the bush that is attached to the barrel) where the blue has been removed. To cure this, cut a couple of threads off with a hacksaw and replace.

on a good day mine will do 1/4 inch if every thing is right and i do my bit, that with Winchester subsonics, although mine is custom. i would expect atleast 1 inch.

 

try some differnet ammo

[Bluelungbutter 1]

I tried loads of different types of ammo, finally settled for eley sub. Shoved on a 3-9X50 scope, shot it off a bipod and could still only manage an inch at 50 metres. I often found the first one out of the mag was a flyer too?? Mine was new to me as well and i think with a bit of fettling it could have shot a lot better but to be honest i traded it in for a CZ 452 and never looked back.
