How's that 981 servin' you? Got a good mind to trade in my Jam O' Mattic savage 64 and get one. Does she get good groups? Don't mean to thread steal but it's hard to find info on these.
I have a 981TR. I hit 8 of 9 shots on sage rats at 160 yards yesterday with no rest or bipod (The miss was my fault - wind). It will hit shotgun shells at 200 yards and I have made a couple of one shot hits on a quarter at 200 yards.
Like all 22's, you have to match your ammunition to the barrel. Also, I had to bed the receiver (The synthetic stock comes with pillars)to get this accuracy. Most shoot 2-4" groups at 100 yards out of the box. Bedding the receiver will reduce a 2" group to 1.25". The Model TR like mine can be made more accurate than the T by bedding the tube. A group of 4" indicates uneven barrel expansion and you have about a 50-50 chance of buying one in this factory made condition. Mine shot 4" out of the box but I applied the fix.
