Otherwise I won't have much use for this gun. I don't expect 1/2 MOA, but I sure would like to see 1 MOA. Having said all of that, does anyone have any advice besides different ammo? I'm looking, believe me. There was no noticeable difference regardless of my adjustments. I tried different tensions on the action screws. I cleaned the barrel lightly before I shot it for the first time to remove any residual factory crud. After a few groups I pulled the action and shimmed just behind the forward action screw with a thin piece of cardboard to allow the barrel to float freely. The barrel does NOT pass the dollar bill free float test. One interesting note - the groups were nearly all around 1/2 to 3/4 inch in lateral separation with the larger spacing mostly in vertical stringing. I know rimfires very well so I know they can be finicky with different ammo, but I still expected better than this. The best few were around 1.75 inches which equates to about 1.5 MOA. Shooting the only 22 mag ammo I have been able to find (CCI V-MAX) I shot multiple 3 shot groups averaging about 2 inches. Once I was on the center of the target I moved it to the back berm. I only made adjustments at this distance. It took about a half turn in elevation and a quarter in windage to bore sight and then fine tune onto paper at 50 yards. It is mounted solidly and with blue locktite. Today I mounted a new Nikon EFR 3X9 scope on a new laminate stock xt-22 WMR (box magazine, not tube.) I used weaver #12 bases and Burris high Z rings.
