[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 652389, member: 25383"] with a 22 rimfire, they can be very selective about the ammunition being used. So one of the first things you need to do is to beg borrow or steal a few rounds from all your buddies till you happen find something that seems consistently better. I have had some rimfires that wouldn't shoot the high dollars stuff worth a ****, but in turn would shoot the cheap stuff like it was target stuff. Also you can have two identical rimfires, and they'll often prefer different ammo! Back to the 10-22, the reciever will flex all over the place with a heavy weight out front. I've seen a couple of them that had the barrel fully bedded with the reciever group fully floated. If you are seriously into that concept of a rifle, then keep a close eye out for an AMT clone at the gun shows. Much better rifle with a better reciever group made of steel. Another thing to remember is what your working with. They're good reliable rifles, but your never gonna make it shoot like a 541, CZ, or a Cooper, no matter how much money you sink into it. It took me awhile to get that into my head with a 39M I fought with for years. After shooting 1.38" groups at 100 yards with a couple 39A's I thought the M would as well. gary [/QUOTE]
