I just wish it shot half as good as it looks! On a good (a real good) day it will hold 1.25" at 50 yards. Only reason I keep it is that it looks cool hanging on the wall.That tiger stock is nice!!!

Ha I hear you there. Definitely a covo piece for gun snobs. Very nice still, I'm going to have to put my feelers out for one.I just wish it shot half as good as it looks! On a good (a real good) day it will hold 1.25" at 50 yards. Only reason I keep it is that it looks cool hanging on the wall.
Nice! Very Akish looking!Little Rossi .22 I put a Ruger 10/22 aftermarket stock on. Fun cheap little plinker. Looking for a budget scope to compete it.
Thanks, those mags are a little salty though. At $39.99 each I only have one. The factory magazines work fine as well.Nice! Very Akish looking!

Try out Eley force and see how that does for you. I've had good results with my 10/22 with it, several others have reported they have gotten good groups with it.CZ-457 American .22
A few targets just shooting groups at 50 yards.
So far it appears the Eley Tenex shoots the best group.

Dang man, your rifle has some expensive tastes! I've found that if I limit my testing to the cheap stuff, I find something that the rifle likes and I can afford.CZ-457 American .22

You might be surprised. Some of the lower end Eley ammo isn't really any more than, say, CCI standard velocity. And usually shoots a whole lot better than anything loaded this side of the Atlantic. I picked up some Eley Action a while back, and at the time it was even cheaper than the CCI. Shoots amazing, too, well under 1 MOA in my 20" T1x.Thanks.. really do not want to have to use too much Tenex at $24 / box of 50..
My 10/22 doesn't fo will with CCI standard velocity. It likes Eley force and Agulia super extra 40gr copper plated. Thankfully both are pretty reasonable.You might be surprised.

I've seen several people say good things about CCI Blazer ammunition. I'm going to have to get some the next time I see it available and try it out.For cheap ammo, the CCI Blazer seems about the best in a couple 1022's Ive had ('67 fingergroove and '85 action w GM bbl ).
Its not match grade but .75 for 5 at 50 yards I consider good enough.
Match ammo I want under .5"
Picked up a NIB metal trigger guard 1022 standard, think maybe '95?
Was gonna build something.
But plastic keeps my OCD from raging (dinged walnut when out hunting) and really, get the trigger cleaned up on the CZ 455 and I'm pretty much done. W the parallax change on the 3-9X its just a handy package and my go to sporter. It does OK w the Blazer too, but SK rifle match is what it really likes. Picked up a couple bricks of Standard Plus from Brians Surplus this summer.
Aint tried it out yet.
Have not even wrung out the Savage heavy bbl either.
Seems silly to build another 1022. But flush fit mags and semi auto.......are a nice combo.
1022's kinda stick in the blood LOL
Midway has it for $3.99 a box with free shipping on orders over $49 with code FREESHIPPING10422. I think the free shipping code expires after today though.I've seen several people say good things about CCI Blazer ammunition.

My 10/22 is just a stock thin barrel from the early 90's. The two it likes are Eley force #1 best group at 50yds was around .6?? Aguila Super Extra 40gr copper was just under an inch at 50yds. I use both for squirrel and rabbit hunting.
I still like CCI segmented rds for raccoons, opossum size. I seen where a guy took a coyote a little under 50yds with the CCI segmented ammunition also. It isn't very accurate it was just under 2.5" 10 shot group. Good enough for larger varmints.
Raccoon hunting its usually around 25yds or less so it's plenty accurate at that range.
Drug the 455 to the range to zero w CCI Quiet.
Had adjusted the objective on my reg VX1 3-9X scope.
Less than half a turn has it focus at 25 yards on 9X
Had the strap wrenches and didn't want to mess sending it in for the change.
Worked fine, no marks.
Then shot the Contender 14" .22 mag. Had changed scopes, wears a 4X Leupold EER.
OK on the range but if Id take it for fox itd have to wear an RDS.
Next is trying to find a gloss scope for the Win .22 mag rifle.
Get deer season over and start calling in predators.
