JohnGalway 1,043 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 What does it group like on paper at the range you have it zeroed for and what ammo are you using? Postman asked me to zero his sons Ruger 10/22, at 50 or 60 yards I couldn't get any better than a 4 inch group I think. I didn't have the heart to try the thing at 100 yards, didn't think I'd hit the A4 sheet of paper the targets were printed on. Quote Link to post
bouncer 51 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 it doesnt group to bad at 50 yards but after that it goes all over the place.i use cci hollow point sub sonic. Quote Link to post
JohnGalway 1,043 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 What's not too bad? An inch, two? More, less? Quote Link to post

dogvixen01 34 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 i have used both bolt action and semi auto .i have found the bolt action most accurate imho . with any 22 lr you need to get a good match between bullet and gun as some makes are very bullet fussy ( the ruger 10/22 i had before was only accurate with about 2 different bullet makes ) some makes also have a very heavy trigger pull ( ruger another good example ) and benfit from a trigger kit being fitted.hope you sort it out asap.

It will come with trigger time.... just shoot more and more... Its better to guess the range outwith the scope in my opinion. especially on the lamp.. Quote Link to post
