They shoot excellent! Mine will shoot under a half inch 5 shot groups at 50 yards with ammo it likes. Usually one ragged hole. IT does not seem to be picky either as it likes several different brands of ammo and even the stuff that is so so still shoots good groups. They have excellent machined bores in them. My gunsmith put a borescope down mine and said that the bore looked as good as a lot of match 22 barrels he has installed. he was impressed considering how good the bore was machined being a military trainer.
Said I never had much use for one, never said I didn't know how to use it.

Same here, 1/2 in. groups at 50 yards easy, even with cheap ammo. Great shooter, especially for the price. I love the sights on 'em, too.

Have two of 'em, both shoot great, seem to feed from the magazine well too. One caution, WITH THE GUN EMPTY, cock, put on safe then put some pressure on the trigger and wiggle it a little, don't force the trigger, but put at least as much pressure as it would take to fire it. Noticed my son at the range fired one of the rifles while it was on safe. Checked the rifle and it WILL discharge with the safty in the on position. Takes very little more pressure than it takes to fire normally. Took this rifle out of service 'til I have a chance to strip the bolt an have a "look see". Hope this helps.

I bought one last year shot great but it is now gone.the mags on most are not orginal but some cheap korean junk.wouldn't feed most of the time so sold it to a bud that wanted a project.I would suggest if you buy one make sure it has a orginal mag and ask to function check it before buying.
while a good .22 there are better buys to be had for a few bucks more.

The replacement mags can be made to work they just need adjusting. Mine work fine! There may be others out there for a few bucks more but I wonder if they shoot as well?

Thanks Pete but I have a origional and a repo so I do not really need it some one else may need it more. plus for what it would cost to send it probably not worth it. I bet some one in your area could use it. I thank you for the offer though. Ever notice those of us interested in guns, shooting and hunting, Fishing, enjoying the outdoors seem to help others better than the general public? I Guess we just had better upbringing~!  :grin:  :D

Thanks Pete but since I have two I will let some one else who may really need one go for it first. If it does not go then let me know and I will send you the money for postage. Jim

Good that is why I said let some one else go for it first. They can probably use it better than I can as I said I have 2 good working ones. Glad to hear some one else could use it. Jim
