Hey. I just purchased a ruger 10/22. It seems to not be a very accurate rifle. I purchased the stainless steel model with a 22" normal barrel.
I've purchased 8 different types of ammo from bulk boxes to target ammo, and my .22 seems to be shooting all over the place. We're talking 3-3.5 inch groups at 50 yards on some ammo, and even worse on a few brands. I get several bullets that just seem to be doing their own thing, hitting 3+ inches off target.
The best ammo so far has been Remington "Target Rifle". And even that wouldn't produce sub 1.5" groups at 50 yards.
Another concern is that a few of the cheaper ammos had feeding/ejecting issues. I tried cleaning the gun several times with both hopps and Break Free with a bore snake as well as the traditional rod method and that didnt seem to help. One box of ammo was mis-feeding ever 3-4 rounds.
I have a hard time believing this is the norm for these rifles, as they are so popular around the world, and have been for so long.
Anyway, is this normal or did I get a bad barrel/chamber with mine?? Maybe a defect?
This gun is stock in every way. Brand spankin' new and fresh out of the box.
