Cimarron 1885 22rf Poor Accuracy
« on: December 03, 2012, 04:15:08 AM »
 >:(  Well...I have a dilemma...I have a Cimarron 22rf..30 inch barrel...set triggers...nice...haha It doesn't shoot like it looks...I have shot several bricks of ammo thru it...Lapua...Eley...Federal ultramatch..and the high velocity cheap stuff..best groups are 1.5 to 2.0 inches at 50 yd's....with a 6X Malcom vintage scope...I had my gunsmith look at the rifle...and he also re-crowned it....didnt help...I have several 39A'S that shoot .500/.750 with peep sights on a good day...along with my Martini's....I am thinking about cutting barrel back to 26/28 inches..with a target crown..if that doesn't work...install a Redman liner? I have also talked to Daniel Lilja about another barrel for the last resort? I am trying to get this rifle ready for Silouette's in January....I know I should not have bought an Italian replica and then expected great things...but I am stuck with it..and need to make the best of it...any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated....Thanks

Same answer as on the other thread, ditch the leatherwood scope. Go with a quality set of soule sights from MVA.
 Will add that if you must use a scope go with the MVA B-5.

In the 1920's "sheeple" was a term coined by the National Socialist Party in Germany to describe people that would not vote for Hitler. In the 1930's they held Hitler as the only one that would bring pride back to Germany and bring the budget and economy back.....
