Tackdriver

[Lame Bear]

Still new to .22lr. What size groups at 50 yds. does it take for a gun to be one? Does it take high grade ammo. What kind? Thanks guys.

 

[scap99]

.25 groups

CCI Stingers are the best I've found.

Match ammo in a good gun with a good shooter. Same recipe for any gun to be a tack driver.

 

[Lame Bear]

What brand match ammo & gun do you recommend? Thanks.

 

[Pilgrim]

This is gonna be good...

I recommend this :Anschutz, 1903 target rifle, .22 LR rimfire, smallbore match rifle

And Lapua X-ACT ONLY. Otherwise you're just wasting time and money, nothing else will do what you want.

I waste my time and money. If I were going to throw that much money, I sure wouldnt get a .22
But, since this is a thread about .22's, Im sure you cant go wrong with that choice.

Your only option is a Marlin Model 81-DL, and use CCI Stingers in it. The ONLY option.

Mod, you can go ahead and lock this thread.

When EF Deemus speaks.....people listen

What'd he say? Turn the volume a little please


BTW: Stingers aren't so great through my Ruger VLEH

OP, check out the Rimfire section of the forum. Some of your questions will be answered there. Also, Tejano Scott moderates a Rimfire Challenge on this site. He can also give you some good suggestions...

In all seriousness though, it depends on how much you want to spend. With a 10/22, Green Mountain bull barrel, minor trigger work, and Winchester "Western" bulk ammo I put up some .75" groups at 50yards. First time out with the gun in less than favorable wind conditions. With more trigger time and a few tweaks it will run .5" or less consistently, in my humble opinion.

However, there are quality (read out-of-box accurate!) bolt action rifles on the market that are affordable. But not as modular as 10/22.

BTW, if anyone ever finds a Marlin 81-DL for sale, I would offer a finders fee. I would like to buy another one for my boy.

For deemus. Saw a couple of Marlin 81-DL on Gunbroker.com. Maybe a little rough. Thought you might want to look.

Heap thanks to scap99 & Gramps. Found some match ammo at www.eabco.com & Anschutz has some fine rifles. Thanks again to all.
