[QUOTE="Buddro, post: 1775923, member: 108148"] I took my ruger 10/22 out of the closet today for some target shooting. For the record I am well aware I did everything wrong, dirty barrel, dirty action, cheap ammo (remington thunderbolt). At any rate it was shooting two separate groups about an inch and a half apart at 50 yards. One on the crosshairs the other at 3 o clock. There were some rounds in between the two but the majority went to one group or the other. I could swear the fliers to the right made a less sharp sound when shooting. The amount of rounds going to each group was pretty equal. My question is what can cause this? I haven't ruled sloppy trigger pull on my part but I would expect the rounds to be distributed in more of a string than two groups. I am going to start by checking the scope it is a barely used Nikon I would be surprised if it's off but maybe the mounts are tweaked or loose. Of course I plan to clean it thoroughly before I break it back out. Any other guesses specific to producing two distinct groups? [/QUOTE]
