After swapping the barrel (factory 22-250 Striker barrel) and putting on a Burris 3-12x Handgun scope it would regularly shoot 1/2 to 3/4" groups at 100 yards with handloads off a bipod with a sandbag under the grip.
Same for my gen 1. Best trigger I've had on a Striker. It was .243 and now a .221fb. The .243 factory barrel shot 3/4" at 100yrds with 4X scope and Federal 100gr Powershok. HATED the recoil! Going to sell the heavy .221fb barrel soon and switch to factory .223. Shot mine off bipod.
