Okay, I was wrong. I measured again and the groups were more like .32, .32 and .38. The .25 was .38. Thought that looked weird...
I like that Ruger thumbhole! I have the plain plastic stock Ruger American carbine in 22 Mag but I can see myself with a 22lr version somewhere down the road. I think I will probably get a stainless version as I have no stainless rimfire rifles.
Some years ago I planned to buy an Anschutz 64 MPR as the price then was not too out of reach. Waited too long and the price went way up! I did meet a guy with a 64 MPR and was able to shoot it and it turned in a pretty nice group for me.
My best out of the box 22 rifles in regards to accuracy have been my two CZ 452s. One was bought new in 2002 for $189 - it is the Special now called a Trainer. The other is an American bought new in 2008 for $339 if I recall correctly. I was out shooting the older CZ yesterday and it turned in a couple of fairly nice groups despite the breezy conditions with Wolf Match Target. I have an old Burris 12X on it.
Also have a 10/22 Deluxe with Volquartsen barrel that is a really good shooter.
My dad just gifted my 2 daughters with a Nylon 66, each!...
Keystone Arms 722. I have the PT version and like it a lot. It's a shame their website is so poor (lacks any real information on the rifles beyond some photos and MSRP) and they don't advertise it at all anywhere. They are nice accurate little rifles. I wouldn't mind having the standard wood stocked version.
They have a 1 MOA guarantee ( which I think is pretty bold for a rimfire ) and the basic rifles run between $250 and $400.
Thats nuts! Did you have to thread your barrel yourself or is there a model with it?
