I decided to do some tests with Match .22 LR ammo a while ago. This test was done in 2 phases because I messed up the iron sights the first time. I used two different 10/22 rifles. The first one has a KIDD Barrel with all the Power Custom Trigger parts and a scope. The second rifle was a Stock 10/22 with an M1 Carbine stock kit on it. We also use a Chronograph for most of the shots when the sun was cooperating. As the evening went on some of the shots wouldn't register.
The Stock gun from here on out will be referred to as IRONS and the Custom one will be SCOPED.
I don't have some pics of targets I shot with the Iron sights because I was using the iron sights wrong and it skewed the results. So a few weeks later I went out and redid the test with most of the match ammo I had from 25yards out. All the Scoped targets are from 50 yards out. And I'll let you determine the best performing ones with the results below.
Here's some pics of our set up
And here are some of our results. There will be a lot of info and lots of pics, so I'll try to keep it readable.

I think for the money and the performance the SK Rifle Match was the best in my scoped rifle and the Wolf Match Extra was the best in my stock rifle.
