I've been shooting/reloading most of my 62 years, and have only used .22 RF' s as plinkers or small game hunting rifles. My wife and I have a pair of Ruger 77/22's which we recently put pretty good scopes on(Nikon Prostaff 3-9).When I was zeroing the rifles at 100 yards,we were getting 3 shot groups running between 1 1/8 and 1 1/2 inches.This as with ammo onhand(Fed.copperclad hp),other brands may or may not improve the groups.So----- Should I be pleased with this performance or not? Thanks, memtb
