I have a 10/22 carbine with a factory barrel and Kidd trigger job. That and a Leopold scope are the only modifications.
From the bench at 50 yards, these are my best 10 round group sizes
- CCI Standard Velocity: 1 inch
- CCI Mini-Mag: 1.5-2 inch
It's honestly been years since I ever sat down and shot groups from a bench, so I don't exactly remember how much accuracy I should reasonably expect from it. It's just a nagging feeling that it should be better than this because 10 years ago, I shot an Appleseed and did not have an issue getting rifleman patches (better than 4 MOA) shooting in all field positions (no bench) and with iron sights and CCI mini-mag. But that was at 25 yards with reduced scale targets. Does 22LR accuracy drop off this much at 50?
