I have recently added one of these to the collection. I am interested to hear the experience of others regarding the ammunition yours liked and how often you clean it. It's first outing to the range was a blinder. With CCI VMax I was shooting around 1.5" at 100 meters. As far as I am concerned for a .22WMR this is exceptional (and pretty good for any hunting rifle). With other ammunition, such as 40gn it shot a bit bigger, but not a whole lot. I now (two trips later) find I am not shooting anything like this. Does this rifle need to be kept sparkly clean? Thinking that this might be it I have given it a good clean (my old Stirling I think got cleaned once a year and was very happy - but never shot like this does/did) and will be up at the range through the coming week.

THanks
