Reasonable accuracy expectations using a scope.

[Don G]

Last December I bought the A22 rifleas a package deal trough Cabellas up here in Canada. The gun is on a polymer stock, without any iron sights. Glass or red dot sights are the only choices. I have the scope the gun came with and a Vortex Sparc11 for a red dot for rimfire Competitions.

My question is what kind of accuracy can I expect out to 50 yards using off the shelf ammo ie no match grade ammo? Gun will do gopher and squirrel duty. 1" groups off a rest at 50 yards would be perfect.

Bob: I have a A22 and using CCI standard velocity ammo I can shoot 1' groups and a bit under easily at 50 yards using a bipod - using a rest would improve my results. I use the A22 in tactical matches (35 to 135 yards) and it does OK - my Savage Mark II BV out performs it. I changed the plastic stock for a Boyd and spent hours, and I mean a lot of hours, to get the mags to fit properly. The mags fit perfectly in the plastic stock. If I didn't have so much money tied up in the Boyd I'd have dumped it and gone back to the plastic stock.
