[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 148143, member: 8"] Jerry First things first. - The gun is very sensitive to the ammo you feed it. Get some Stingers, Yellow Jackets, Scorpions and then some "target" bullets such as Remington and Eley. My rifle would shoot the Stingers and Yellow jackets and several of the Eleys very well but the rest of types of bullets would shoot groups about three times bigger. Bullets have "waxy" stuff one them and so you should shoot five to ten rounds into the dirt to precondition the barrel and chamber to the new type of bullet before shooting a group on paper. I tested maybe 10-15 different velocities and brands and weights of bullets. I free floated my barrel and it had no effect on group size. I then bedded the action and that did nothing for it. I "smoothed/radiused" the bolt and that helped it function with low velocity, sticky, cold ammo. I "smoothed" the trigger and that helped the roughness of the trigger but didnot change the weight of pull. As a note, there are people who say their 10-22 shoots great and then there are those of us who are who have very poor shooting rifles. [/QUOTE]
