Great info pappy. Great shooting too. Looks real consistent. That's what I always look for. I'd rather have a rifle that likes a bunch of different kinds of ammo, than a rifle that only likes one kind. My last ruger target model with the hammer forged barrel was like that. It was a finicky bastid. I'm glad you posted the results of the accuracy you are getting with your competition model. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised yesterday by the build quality of the left handed ruger 10-22. Yeah, $700.00 is a little high on the price tag, but that's the only one I've seen in my area, as of yet. Someone will pay that price, I'm sure.
