I am a CERTIFIED LONG IN THE TOOTH OLD F*RT and this is the first .22 Rifle I have had since I was 16YO in High School (hint - 49 years ago) so pay attention to these targets 'cause its all in the rifle!
I went to a local indoor range and fired 5 rounds of 8 different .22LR cartridges. This was the first time out and my scope was not true yet.
Savage MKII BSEV with SWIFT 4 x 12 x 40MM scope with Parallax in the front optics.
Target is at 25 yards - maximum for this range.
Rifle right out of the box - just ran a clean patch through the first time.
I did not clean her out between the different ammo - probably should do that next time.
Rifle is supported on a rubber block, 12 inches tall x 4 inches x 4 inches, and the block does move around a bit.
In every target picture below I was aiming dead center of the circle then made a scope correction before shooting the next set.
AMMO #1 - Remington Target Ammo - Standard Velocity Round Nose Lead 40 GR.

AMMO #3 - Fiocchi Target Ammo 22LSP - Standard Velocity Round Nose Lead 40 GR.
The one shot to the left was definitely me - I pulled that one and knew it soon as I shot.

[b]First of all note that the worst set is the WOLF and that is still within a PENNY.[b/]

[b]The Best overall I picked the Remingtom Target Match set all 5 way within the dime because this was the first set and the scope was the farthest off site. Special mention needs to go to the CHEAPEST BOX IN THE TEST - Winchester SUPER-X:[b/]

[b]Next test will be at 50 yards - probably next week. All I can say is me and this Savage MKII BSEV will be partners for a lonnggg time!!!!
- and there may be a .17HMR or a .22WMR in the future - one of each would be perfect! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [b/]
