[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1930010, member: 9308"] Hey [USER=113673]@348 fan[/USER] I had a Majestic Arms aluminum barrel with a steel liner on a Ruger 77/22 that was the most picky thing I've ever seen on ammo. I had about 10 different types of ammo for it (.22LR) so I took them to the range and shot groups with everything at 50 yards and that thing spit CCI Green Tag into a 6" group (shotgun pattern?) and the Wolf Match Target ammo into a 0.5" hole. The rest of the ammo was somewhere in the middle but none were anywhere close to as accurate as that Wolf ammo (I've heard it is made for them by SK, so it is high quality stuff.) That was my 'eye-opening' moment to how picky these .22 LR guns can be on ammo. In contrast, I have a Ruger 10/22 that I put a 0.920" stainless steel Butler Creek barrel on and that thing will shoot any ammo I have into 1" or less at 50 yards. Very consistent and forgiving. You just never know. (But it LOVES that Wolf Match Target ammo, too!) You were smart to have the receiver drilled and tapped for a Weaver block mount. Now you know the mounting system is not an issue, and your scope is a high-quality item (Leupold), so you are eliminating variables. Once you get a variety of ammo to try out, I'm looking forward to your report on what ended up shooting best. Sometimes it turns out to be the inexpensive, $25 for a 'brick' Walmart stuff (CCI Blazer or Remington Thunderbolts)! Those are happy moments. [/QUOTE]
